I'm always surprised by people sleeping on GitHub Copilot. Is this because people truly don't find any value in it?

I have used Github copilot since their beta release in 2023 and I don't find it anywhere near good these days. Automplete was good, but the industry has moved way beyond 2025. Copilot is slightly worse than Cursor which is itself a pretty average tool now. If you use truly agentic code generation, you won't be able to go back to Github Copilot.
You don't consider copilots agent mode to be agentic? I've had some pretty great results with agent mode + mcp to have it check it's own work.
