I just finished reading Brad's excellent article on polish, gameplay, and price. The auto-upgrade feature is one of those polish points that seem small but affect nearly every player's impression of polish. That would seem to warrant a higher priority on some team's work list. I wait, somewhat impatiently now, for something to be resolved that has been a raised QOL issue since day 1 of initial release. The shipyards and upgrade constructors got exactly this kind of mechanism. This never got exactly the same implementation that could have made, theoretically, at the same time for the Govern Planet screen as it was done for constructors. Again, this has been mentioned and theoretically known by the devs, since day 1 or before. Again theoretically, it should not require re-inventing the wheel to implement the same solution with the little gears icons.
I consider myself one of the more patient people as compared to many on forums, and I no longer understand what times we have to wait for resolution of lingering QOL requests.
