Think you might be overstating it a bit. Plenty of streaming pros have it on autocast at the moment. I wouldn't call them retarded, as they are better than you and 99.7% of posters on TL.
Is there a lot of room for micro improvements, tricks and discoveries with hosts? Absolutely.

Yup it will be useful to have on autocast for some situations and off for others.

It's pretty funny really.. The biggest complaint people have about SC2 compared to BW is that you can not gain significant advantage by microing individual units to gain advantages or perform comebacks, yet almost every player even in the pro scene (exceptions being people like Morrow) are 'too lazy' to turn off autocast and micro to gain advantages...
Blizzard is trying to add more and more advantages to people who do not death ball.
- Vipers cloud makes tanks spread 1.5 spaces apart important, but the highest of high level pros still just seige them all in a group. Hell.. this was true back when baneling drops and infested Terran bombs were at their peak. If your tanks are out of tank splash range of each other they won't get pwned by these attacks.
- Mines gain significant advantage being microed.
- I am willing to bet that even tho the Warhound was terrible, the hay-wire missiles were intended to give you an advantage when autocast was turned off so you could focus cast their spell at the immortals or tanks in a mech force.
Every unit should have further potential based on micro. Some already do. Most don't get used but everyone still QQs like these advantages don't exist.

Agreed. Also Wish they'd give auto cast a key set up instead of having to right-click on the icon to maybe encourage this a bit more.. Maybe a ctrl-C button perhaps? Sadly that everyone is lazy to post this great suggestion to US forums
Blizz has said many times they pay attention to the community and it's sites. They're almost certainly keeping an eye on the HotS threads around here.
As for the suggestion itself, I really like it. Not much else to say. I just like it.

I posted this, on my blog thing, and i Totally agree. IT is more useful turned off. I think, if blizzard, just takes it out, it would add soooooo much micro. You could re add in the warhound, because it would be a really micro intensive unit after that. Blizz is always talking about making Micro, but they don't do this.
