Aren't we in danger of going too far down the line of absolving people from
having to think for themselves. However did we manage with radios that just
put out the power set on the power control?

Personally if I can remember what power I set it is more likely to be what I
last set it to than what was set whenever I stored that frequency in memory.
Some times I may want to use QRP, some times I may not. I would find it very
annoying to have the power level reset whenever I change band or recall a
frequency from memory.
