For parachutes it was only true until Cirrus put out training to encourage people to actually use the parachute. Once pilots were properly trained, the parachutes started saving lives. It was the same story when ejector seats were introduced. The emergency autoland is not intended to be used by the pilot, it is for activation by a passenger in single pilot aircraft when the pilot is incapacitated. So their is almost nothing to train. Pilots just need to add it to the passenger briefing.
