A glitching IoS is mildly annoying, a glitching autopilot kills you.

Or worse - others.
You at least had control over the decision to use FSD (bad already, given human driver psychology) and then not pay attention to be able to intervene in a split second (which is ambitious to begin with especially over periods longer than a few seconds).
Below [0] is a link to a comment I recently made about a very dangerous incident I myself experienced with only a much more mundane "lane assist", on a German autobahn, while fully engaged and in control. Imagine I had had something like FSD and had required even a split second longer to get control of the car back... it would probably have been too late by then. I don't think it's a good idea to think well, I can just disable assistants, or FSD, unless conditions are perfect. Some day you will forget.
