Copilot only writes boilerplate, it can't really handle anything non-trivial. But I write a lot of boilerplate, even using abstraction and in decent programming languages. A surprising amount of code is just boilerplate, even just keywords and punctuation; and there's a lot of small, similar code snippets that you could abstract, but it would actually produce more code and/or make your code harder to understand, so it isn't worth the effort. Plus, tests and documentation (Copilot doubles as a good sentence/"idea" completer when writing).
