IMO the fun parts of the game are not having to open dozens of windows and do hundreds of clicks. Why do you think gen times get extended as games progress? Because it takes longer and longer to do turns. Do you think people need more time to have fun? Or do they need more time to get the work tasks done?
The fun part is the strategy; designing ships; planning and executing attacks, etc.
If I can speed up those tasks that require a multitude of clicks, which frankly is not fun at all, just a lot of repetitive work, then I believe I will have more fun. Why do you suppose many prefer playing smaller versus larger universes? Are they having more fun in the smaller ones? Why? TIME to execute. That's why.
I have more fun cutting wood with an electric saw than a handsaw. Because I get much more work done in less time and have more time to enjoy the beauty of the projects that get completed faster, and more of them to boot.
You just go on enjoying your manual and I'll run my automatic.
