It's not just about resolutions, but about refresh rates more importantly. For analog monitors it made sense that autodetection was bad. Digital ones should be reasonably well served by EDIDs that you'd never need to make your modelines, but there are edge cases like the one I described above. Bad EDIDs also happen.
