I understand fully the point you make but have several situations that I find it really useful:

My home city is full of underpasses where lights shoudl be used - the car handles this perfectly switching on an off (mine act instantly)

Driving in Europe - lights must be switched on and off at the entry and exit of every tunnel, underpass, etc.. Try South coast of Spain - it has hundreds of them.

Going into my garage it lights it up

I'm sure driving in most situations its a waste but they can be turned to a manual mode.
