I'm not new to life in dangerous space, but I have always found it very difficult to check d-scan regularly and still do other things. Many times I fail to scan not from forgetting but out of needing to focus on something more important.
I think d-scan should automatically reveal ships and things in the main view, in a blurred out representation of their approximate location. It could merely update only once each time the scan line crosses over, but even that would be a huge benefit to anyone too busy working in the main view or overview to be bothered to click d-scan.

So your argument is that since there are some people who automate d-scan (illegitimately), it is thus a bad idea to allow this functionality legitimately? What bad thing would happen in your scenario? Would the cheater's little loophole suddenly give them more intel above the norm than it did previously?

It should have a maximum rate slower than you can manually d-scan, but yes! CCP save us from carpal tunnel syndrome!

I'd go with 10s. That's plenty fast enough to get me using that feature.

It's like those quick time events in games these days where you mash the X button as fast as you can to make the character perform a complex action they already know how to do. No gameplay in that. Probes are gameplay, and surprisingly anti-bot as well.

I posit that the real reason people are opposed to the change is because they are good at mindless button-mashing and are afraid that actual skill will begin to govern the scanning meta if this change happens.

Where is the skill in an auto updating dscan tool?
In focusing mental energy on something that actually uses brain power.
Where is the skill in button-mashing for intel?
