Why the hate for drag and drop?

Almost every review I have read faults the Droid because you can't auto-sync music:

"(You can dump your music on a microSD card and pop it in, but it?s a copy-paste files affair, not a ?load my music? integrated experience.)"

The Droid ships with a 16 GB microSDHC card, and can handle a 32 GB one. Having more than 32 GB of music in my library, why on earth would I want to sync? I (and many people I know) have had to switch iTunes to manual mode so as to avoid trying to cram 40-50 GB (or more) of music on a device with a lower capacity, so we're already dragging and dropping. It's really not the end of the world, it's really not difficult, and it gives a greater degree of control over what goes where. Auto-syncing two computers that can always have their storage expanding is simple. Auto-syncing a portable device with a hard limit on storage space isn't always the right answer.
