I totally agree with you on this.
Often when third party aircraft are released without autopilot functionality, there are shrill demands that an autopilot should be added, even if the aircraft wouldn’t normally have been fitted with an Autopilot.
This happens a lot and each developer eventually has to decide whether to accede to the pressure or not and modify their design even if it compromises authenticity.
Some users need or(or at least prefer) the assistance that an autopilot provides them and, to me, it would be a great solution for everyone if Asobo provided a level of assistance that would work for all aircraft and at least bring the functionality of a basic autopilot that could easily be switched in and out reliably - it isn’t at that level today. Providing easy to use and reliable assistance will broaden the user base of MSFS too so in my opinion the obvious potential benefits to all should push this high up the list of priorities.
