I agree that it isn't easy. However in fair weather gentel adjustments to the controls (preferably the auto pilot ) will get you close enough. Control towers will clear your path so you having a fighting chance of walking away. Mostly the training is for small planes where there is one pilot.

Pushing a button is or course a lot easier. I don't want to diminishing that. However most of us can't afford the type of plane ticket where it is needed, first class on a commercial flight is an order of magnitude cheaper. Thus the odds of both pilots dead is much higher, and so knowing there is still hope may be useful.
