Volumes are much easier to trace instead of chapters so why can't volumes be shown at the manga progress bar at the profile page?

Probably to make it easier.

The chapters are released in a pre-publishing magazine before being collected in a Volume.
If it was made in your way , we should wait months/years for the chapters to be put under a Volume before marking them...

And the crushing majority prefer to refer to numbers of chapters rather than volumes , especially for the Ongoing series. (Note that those who note the volume number also note the chapters one)
You can just take a look at the feed of updates :
https://myanimelist.net/manga/2/Berserk/stats?m=all#members
https://myanimelist.net/manga/13/One_Piece/stats?m=all#members

Since the majority only use the chapters numbers , why show the volumes numbers on the profile ? And the profile only show the last 3 updates anyway...

The only case where i can see this being useful is for Light Novels , since its not pre-published and just directly released Volumes per Volumes , it makes it way easier to track the volume rather than the chapters. (Sometimes the chapters are themselves splitted into mini-chapters... =x )

In the case of novels, I think it would be better to show both the volume and chapter number. Some novels have volumes that always start at chapter 1, so only showing the chapter number is not enough.

ps. if you are looking for Japanese albums, you have to search it in Japanese (not romaji). Just copy and paste the name.
