Because professionals use expensive professional software, and even a newbie wants to put an esp32 and 4 sensors on a pcb and order 5pcs from china for a price of two cups of coffee... and an autorouter is very helpful then, because for such a usecase, the routing is the 'hardest' part of the pcb design.

Even a newbie will outgrow the auto-router very very fast.

Tools to help with high speed are much much more important

Well yeah, but there's a greater chance that s/he'll start using the software in the first place, if it has autorouter :)
