I don't know that there is such a rule, unless you are just playing armchair sociologist or something. But there are reasons to occasionally try something new (but this button thing seems kinda stupid in hindsight)
For example, if you had figured out drive by wire and could have a joystick on the center console that could steer/brake/accelerate/clutch/change gears then the passenger could be a redundant pilot in case of emergencies.
