It's like saying that in 1940 the auto prop pitch was adopted by the silly German engineers to slow down the 109 and match the Hurri performances ...
one of the main reasons it was adopted was to ease pilot workload.

i'm sure that somewhere i read an account of a 109 pilot saying that the auto pitch wasn't as good as manual in terms of absolute performance with a good pilot used to manual, i just can't remember where i read it, poss 'Spitfire on my tail'

but how much worse, who knows.
