I agree that starting the engine with one button without switching battery, starting fuel pump, priming, setting mags, pre-lube, boosting coil, setting mixture and after starting giving time to warm up, is a bit too easy. And slamming the throttle to max complete with WEP is just weird. As if we do it with our cars, cold starting and afterwards directly ramming the accelerator pedal to the floor and let it stay there. Most (non computerized) cars will lose a head gasket within minutes.
I'd like some more workload. Especially during long boring flights, it's nice to really have to depend on your instruments and to have some random element of engine trouble like icing or spark plug fouling. As with most simmers here, I feel we've got the brains.
