I agree there, however raw data flying is actively encouraged in daily line flying and is actually necessary as we do a lot of visuals (not setting those up in the FMC) and circling approaches. The SIM is usually a OEI approach followed by a GA with FD failure at the same time and standard missed approach procedure which is made a tad more difficult as we cannot use any maps during the GA (EFB is not allowed to be used below 1000ft AGL and no paper map backup). From the missed approach procedure fix either radar vectors are provided to set you up on the subsequent approach or a standard approach procedure has to be flown, if the latter is used the FMC is failed to not have the nice shiny lines on the ND. Unfortunately lately there are usually other problems present at the same time like flight control problems, missing hydraulics, electric problems, a spontanous fire on the APU or remaining engine which really raises the stress level a tad too high.
