You may not feel the need for automation. But I am happy to have it protect me.
Cars commonly come with the safety systems switched on by default, which you can dial down, but not turn off completely.
This is something aircraft designers have debated for decades. In an Airbus, however much you move the joystick, the aircraft will not exceed preprogrammed limits. Boeing takes a different approach: the pilot is warned they are reaching safe limits by making the yoke harder to move, but the aircraft will exceed these limits. In practice, as an airliner has two highly trained pilots, it makes very little difference. https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/83748/what-protections-and-feedback-does-the-fly-by-wire-of-the-boeing-777-787-provide
