Well well... This is all rather scary I should say. If that's what the MPL curriculum entails, then I can't see how either 200 hours or 10k hours of the same push button skills can ever match those of a few hundred hours of stick and rudder bush flying. It's also puzzling to think that a MPL holder can be entrusted to fly a 737 plus the safety of all souls on board but wouldn't be legally allowed to fly solo in a C-172.
