The cultural change has enormous resistant inertia. There are airlines out there that allow visual arrivals, reluctantly but discouraged, and require use of LNAV/VNAV and auto throttle and do not turn off the FD if there is an ILS. There are other airlines that encourage the retention of piloting skills. Part of that skill is knowing when to and when not to.
