Most of the statements about what an ATCO in a glass tower need to do actually is the limitation of the design of glass tower and the unsafe part, remote towers actually fix most of the problems with glass towers.
Multiple concept again - needs lot of work yet, but open thinking and not thinking in the silo of how would 3 glass towers be done - instead consider fact the technology does and allows presentation differently so the problems that perceived when only think of the now don't exist.
Any new technology that tries to replicate what you do now is pointless - it should change and improve things.
Comment reference SARG, actually their role is equally to improve standards not just maintain them - so perhaps they see an opportunity here to fix the issues we have in the old glass tower tech!
None of your arguments or suggestions address the basic issue of staffing in the event that things suddenly get very busy very quickly due to, say, an emergency, or multiple diversions due to unexpected weather.
It's not the tech per se I have a problem with; its how the average cost-driven ANSP is likely to want to utilize it.
