Isn't part of the point of smart trainer, that the resistance increases so you change gear accordingly, i.e simulating a hill?

I can do this on my 10 year old dumb Magentic Tacx. I have a powermeter - What am I missing here?

Erg mode ... which allows you to just spin and the trainer makes you do consistent power for a structured workout.

I assume that on the tacx you have to choose a resistance setting and then spin a certain cadence and watch the power meter to achieve the target. All of that goes away with Erg mode, where all you need to do is keep the legs turning.
