Not everyone lives in flatland. I've just driven on a ****load of roads
that no torquey diesel could hope to ascend in top gear. Autos work better
with cruise control than manuals, period.

I don't live in a flatland. Next week I will be towing a large caravan
through the worst of the Welsh mountains, which I have done several
times before - I fully expect to have cruise engaged for much of the
drive.
