Exactly.
Yet millions (not just you) willfully and intentionally bought the vehicle knowing it was more automated and took away more manual control from the driver ... thus choosing to financially support such small steps toward more automated driving.
One small step / piece at a time .. bit by bit.
PS:
I haven't yet seen the aftermarket produce a manual Prius .. manual plantary gear and power splitting .. manual HEV operation .. Even though if people wanted it .. there is more than enough technical know-how among the Prius owners to have done it years ago.
