This makes a lot of sense. I would call that out, because it's really surprising out of context. Hopefully you can see how unusual it would be to try to use human interfaces from code for which in at least the majority of cases, there are programatic interfaces for each task that already exist, and would be much less bug prone / finicky. I guess the analogy would be choosing to use Webdriver to interact with a service for which there is already an API.
