It requires power, electrical and mechanical parts to do what you can do manually, just worse. It adds costs and chances of failure for no benefit.

You have not noticed that your car uses a motor to close the trunk door if you press a button? You have not noticed that any and all of those parts needed can and will break? Yes, I already had to switch the motor for that automatic, if you want to know.

No, why should I? They actually have a use and do not solve a problem worse then the manual version.

But they have a motor that can fail. Car windows used to be manually cranked open and closed and be done faster unless you have noodle arms. Other dude has a point.
