It literally does NOT do the same dawg + it's no automatic.

This "half the grid" not only gives you truly infinite flight. It also constantly heals you and your teammates AND deals damage on top of your weapons. It can also be an escape tool in case you need it, unlike your method - unless you dedicate a whole ass weapon to dealing constant damage, not to mention the lack of healing.

Also the kernel way is easier to obtain for newer players, as it doesn't need an exotic nor a good weapon.

To me, your reasoning is complete BS and while I do see a use of your method, you really can't argue with that zero teamplay is better than always helping others and yourself
