You don't understand why people would think that a feature called "full self-driving" is capable of fully driving the car itself?

Anyone who agree's to this warning, and thinks the car is capable of fully driving themselves, is an idiot

"Full Self-Driving is in early limited access Beta and must be used with additional caution. It may do the wrong thing at the worst time, so you must always keep your hands on the wheel and pay extra attention to the road. Do not become complacent. ... Use Full Self-Driving in limited Beta only if you will pay constant attention to the road, and be prepared to act immediately ...

Now, I don't know if that warning exists after it became Full Self Driving (Supervised) when V12.X became a thing and he gave free demo's to everyone, but at that point its name literally includes SUPERVISED, so really, they're idiots either way.
