Why should it be so ? Since ten years I am using an other version having six channels, six positions, unbalanced inputs, at the output of BSS366 processor.
All the inputs and outputs are non-insulated RCA sockets.
It is mainly set for an attenuation between 20 and 30 dB.
Neither with it nor with the attenuator on the photo, I ever encountered problems with parasitics or noise.
I know, it depends of the area and the geometry/length of wire between resistors.
In my urban area I am 1km from transmission towers and wifi is everywhere, I can hear FM radio on tiny gang switches.
So it could work in some areas and in others not, depending if your home is in the path of radio stations.

I use these in my m-c phono stage, 1 stereo attenuator as a gain controller and one stereo attenuator to provide variable cartridge loading. They have worked flawlessly for 2 or 3 years.
also from my view the best solution (looks like military grade janco- or electro-switch) together with rotary switch type 04 from ELMA. Also good P&G with oil (used e. g. from Jeff Rowland in his Coherence ONE), but since a long time not longer available).
