For me a new phone is a forced cleanup. I don't migrate anything automatically.

Obviously that's a ton more work, and not something most people have any desire to do. They just want to upgrade their phone and have all their data and apps migrate seamlessly.
Especially if someone needs to get and setup a new phone in a hurry for whatever reason.

Yes, it's sometimes good to do a spring cleaning but I'm not always in a position to do so (or have the desire to).

Speaking for myself, I've been auto migrating since I got an iPhone 3GS in 2009. The only thing that needs serious cleanup is my music library.
