Wait a minute. You use a spreadsheet to do calculations and you are harping on me for speeding up my click rate. 
Speeding up your click rate on certain functions, like manual pop drops and adding items from production keys is not taking away from the game. It is simply another tool to enhance your performance.
Just like tools like Stars calculator and chaff calculator, and the other tools enhance the experience, so too, automating mouse clicks is a tool. Use it if you want, or don't.
Some things you are able to automate in Stars, like routing, some production items, packets, etc.
Because there is not everything automated doesn't mean it is not desirable or beneficial. I'm sure lots of people have wish lists with things that aren't in Stars that could make micro-management easier. Again, I cite the much touted complaint about playing in larger universes. I've read quite a few wish lists here over the years. But the authors abandoned the mission.
The automation I created is not fully automatic, like the computer doing everything as you seem to imply. You still have to use your mind and enter item#, number of planets, and how many to build. You still have to be sure the planets list has the planets you want to build on at the top of your list. And you still will look at the results to verify that everything is what you want afterward, and make adjustments where desired. All I am doing is taking the click rate to a faster level. Saving much time opening and closing windows, and doing manual reading and clicking of production lists.
What about those who don't have it? Well, I'm going to have to post some videos with step by step guide, for those who don't know how, so they can make their own automated tasks too. 
PS I'm not missing the point. You are.
