lol - from your perspective I would be very lazy.
However, the reason why I would use auto voting is not to save a button click! But, unless you are glued in front your PC screen 24/7, sooner or later you would realize that you have missed some posts of the authors you like and deserve to be supported because of their continuity of providing a quality content. With auto voting, I'm sure their work is going to be rewarded no matter if I see that particular piece or not.

Besides that, if you are not around for a day or two and using only manual votes (button clicks) your voting power for that period would stay at 100% VP completely wasted as a single vote wouldn't be cast out.
That's a loss for authors that might be rewarded (in the case when we use the auto voting), for you as a curator, and above all for the whole Steemit community simply because the system works in a way that every our activity on the Steem Blockchain participates and helps in creation of new blocks and tokens. Meaning, only our activity is filling the Reward Pool.

Maybe we should continue this discussion somewhere in the mid of summer 2019 or at least when you find at least about 100 members who you would find worthy enough to be followed by you, as before that you would hardly be able to see how easy (especially if you are following some daily bloggers) their articles may fall down deep in your feed to become almost unfindable (at least not that way).

Thankyou for your long and detailed answer, honestly, thankyou. However, voting on people who use the site rather than content they have made and you have enjoyed seems very backward! Steemit needs to stop pretending that its a social media site if thats the case and become a betting website with fairer odds. It seems that it only pretends to do this to give a safe return to its investors. Dont get me wrong, I believe in steemit, but it is a seed, not a tree, and it will definitely not be grown by mid-'19! Yours, BishopWeed.
