You are just picking random descriptions of autopilot systems.
Helicopters can also have advanced and full integrated routing systems that will complete an entire trip from A to B, just as fixed-wings can have a simplistic input-to-output linked autopilot that just aims to keep the plane level and with the same heading.
So yes, an advanced system is more complicated than a simple system, but both systems can fail. And since that is inevitable, it's usually better to have a complex system with redundancy that will tolerate failure, than a simple system with no backup that will lead to catastrophe.
