Think of it like this: the buttons are like shortcuts on your computer keyboard. You don’t need to use all of them all the time, but they’re crucial for specific scenarios and emergencies. Most of the time, pilots mainly use auto-pilot and a few key instruments. It’s not that they’re not doing anything, it’s just that a lot of the systems are automated to help with workload and safety.
