Most aircraft aren't that sophisticated. When they are, like Boeing 787 and Airbus 320 series, much of the checklists are automated, but there still remain portions the pilot must perform themselves. Quite a lot of the checklist items have to do with establishing situational, contextual and sequential awareness. Also, general aviation is a much bigger portion of aviation than scheduled passenger airline service: number of airplanes, pilots, airports, and jobs. Any automation is going to be narrowly applied outside of general aviation, it's just not yet a general purpose solution.
