This.
If you want Automated looting, it is dumb and slow. You want something smarter and faster? Do it yourself.

This is not just QOL, nor is it sane. Anything that makes it quicker, more automated and easier to loot reduces the value of loot and reduces the rewards of people doing it themselves with a noctis. For example, when the noctis was introduced, the price of loot fell because it looted faster than everything else. Then shortly after the mtu was released the value of loot fell again because looting became automated.
CCP will tell you themselves they don't want mtu's to be smart. Anyone crying about QOL improvements being shot down has lack of forsight and doesn't grasp competition in a free market.

It's pure quality of life. Too much focus is put on making the game 'challenging' through QoL and interface issues. The balance you are speaking of can more properly be controlled through drop weight, cargo size, and mineral content. I will agree that the MTU should be lootable, or at least hackable, by anyone who flies by with the same penalties as doing the same to a wreck.
It makes the mtu more competitive against a noctis. There is no way it's only QOL. Yes you can balance the two by other means as well. But that does not change the simple fact that making the mtu smarter improves its abilities against its competition.

And yet most people use mtu's rather than a noctis.
It loots while im not there, so i can run a bunch of sites, dropping mtu's at each, then run around with a hauler when im done. Why even spend the time salvaging when it's not worth very much?

That depends how quickly you run missions. You dont 'lose' isk if the isk/hour of salvaging is less than the isk/hour of running the next mission/site, and the price of salvage is very low right now. Consider that a lot of people blitz level 3's for more isk/hour than level 4's. How much do you think the salvage is worth in those missions? It's not worth dragging a noctis out after each mission.
The loot isn't worth much either, but you can run missions for an hour or two and then pick up all your mtu's at once...
