"99% of us" is far too sweeping.

MANY users of JT modes on VHF - not just on EME, but almost ALL 
*serious* users - are also using external preamps, power amplifiers and 
relatively slow coaxial relays which do require an external sequencer.

That may be less true at 50MHz, where HF and VHF/UHF techniques overlap, 
but the use of external sequencers is far too important to be swept 
away.
