If the engine blipped itself going down gears I might semi agree with this, but they still need to heel/toe so it's much more of a manual experience than it is auto. And sure a decent auto may well be quicker around a circuit, but it's a bit like a direct drive electric Tesla winning all of the drag races, quite unremarkable from a visceral perspective.
