Likewise, why SHOULD he? If you're going to stick a robot in the pilot seat, just cut the pilot seat out and fit an artifical brain. Streamlines the process, so to speak. Two reasons: Firstly, it stops you from having to have two parallel production lines (human piloted and fully-autonomous). Secondly, I've got a feeling that any such innovation would be an emergency stopgap in the event of a shortfall in the number of human pilots (likely due to combat attrition).
