>why do you prefer manual labour

Because driver updates I didn't strictly need have historically ruined my day more often than not.

No, I'm not grabbing this driver update either. My Nvidia drivers are years old but they work fine, and I have better things to do than troubleshoot borkage stemming from drivers I didn't need to fix.

Remember: If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

>and look down on people who automate things?

The specific audience here should know better than to delegate updates (let alone updates for system components) to some nebulous automated and/or all-in-one construct provided by third-parties to the hardware/driver vendor.
