That is my take as well. I drove a dark, Montana back road a week ago and tried out the auto headlights for the first time. Many roadside, reflective signs turned off the brights. The field of vision appears too wide for affective usage.
I’ve had a chance to try them on some less traveled roads in Montana. I had the same thing happen. They, like some of the other automatic features, are pretty rough and lack refinement like the ACC. The features sound good - just don’t work good.
