On that note, drivers eschewed automatic gearboxes for years and still do, but modern autos are 10x better than most humans. It'll take some time to get to that point but I don't see why bikes won't get there.
You'll have enthusiasts who bemoan the loss of manual shifting, and choose it over auto, even though on their club rides or regular route they could be quicker with auto shifting.
