If you are religous about monitoring your PPO2 then flying manually adds little, however if you are not then it forces the user to monitor their PPO2 - in an ideal world it would not be needed as everyone would always know their PPO2 (and the fact the leccies are working correctly) however it became blatantly obvious to me when doing this work that is not the case.
But if one is religious enough to manually run their rebreather (to keep yourself alive), then why can't someone religiously monitor their PPO2 in eCCR mode?

With either method, the goal is to keep yourself alive. I just don't understand how anyone could be complacent on that duty.
