This is rather inflammatory at best, and pretty derogatory to the vast majority of pilots who spend upwards of $100,000 to gain the skills necessary for an ATPL, spending anywhere from 1000-2500 hours flying aircraft older than yourself using technology that predates WW2, and even WW1 in some cases. Stick and rudder skills is all you have to get through the first 100 or so hours of your flying career. What you're seeing is a consequence of companies willing to skimp on training and certifications, pressuring authorities and manufacturers to find workarounds, and keeping the folks actually flying the thing in the dark about it.
