The problem is not being afk and thus not responding, the problem is being afk when your character is performing tasks that would obviously need you to be at the keyboard in order to be done.
Ack but what if the player is sat at the keyboard watching the game and/or using the freedom to chat with corp mates and/or people in local and helping to encourage the MMO aspect of MMORPG?
Using a macro doesn't have to mean that the player is afk.
This is kind of a Devil's advocate question but seems a valid one to me.

Obviously, you can, since there wouldn't be macros if you couldn't 
Indy afk mining is wrong too.
Ahh, good. I'm following you now.  It's afk playing that are the thorn in everybody's eye. Well, I guess that's a part of the game that should be improved.
Good idea. Let's nerf autopilot while we're at it. And why do things get built while you're not there? Perhaps we should implement a handle on each factory slot and you have to keep turning it for things to build.
The handle approach has the advantage of being quite hard for macro users to defeat
