Your comment is a prime example that operators are confused and unclear about how to operate the system. You call it a "nag", but the manual [1] clearly states:
1. Autosteer Bubble 1: "Keep your hands on the steering wheel at all times, be mindful of road conditions..."
2. Navigate on Autopilot Bubble 2: "Always keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the driving path in front of you"
3. Navigate on Autopilot Bubble 3: "keep your hands on the steering wheel at all times, and remain aware of your navigation route"
4. Autosteer on City Streets Bubble 2: "Keep your hands on the steering yoke (or steering wheel) at all times, be mindful of road conditions..."
A system that requires hands on the wheel at all times for safe operation should, like a regular car which also requires hands on the wheel at all times, only have hands off the wheel for a few seconds at most. This warning is provided side-by-side with the warning to always pay attention and thus demands a similar degree of importance and adherence. A warning after 30 seconds of failing to operate the system safely is not a "nag". You are operating it incorrectly for a tremendous amount of time every time that warning occurs.
In fact, it should generate after 1-3 seconds like the attention monitoring as it is something you must do at all times. They could remove that restriction by designing a system that does not require hands on the wheel at all times, but while that is a requirement it should be enforced correctly instead of enforced as a useless legal ass-covering afterthought.
That you are confidently asserting the belief that you must take responsibility for attention, but the equally important requirement to keep hands on the wheel is viewed as a unnecessary nag, and repeatedly referenced and advertised as such by official spokespeople, shows you are fundamentally confused about the safe operation of the system and the commercial messaging about it is inherently confusing even to sophisticated operators.
