That is kind of easy to say. It is not like commons currently has much of a choice. Without the help of countless bots there would be no way to deal with the workload.
It is entirely unclear that the work the bots do - which assumes a model wherein contributors have no ownership of images until there is a problem, at which point they are expected to hop to it - is actually doing the right job. As has been noted, the model does not work well with how contributors actually contribute.
The argument you're putting here appears to be that we can't improve the process because the present (broken) process is already very hard. I submit that this is not a good or useful objection to discussion of the brokenness of the present process.
