IOW, it works if you have a large and homogeneous enough network with a
sufficiently narrowly product portfolio that you can justify the cost of
getting enough programming skill to make the cost/benefit ratio work.
Some networks are like this; many aren't.
In fairness, most networks would benefit from some degree of automation.
