I do agree a CNC can be useful.

All i didn't agree with is that it is some sort of ultimate solution. I is
like buying that power screwdriver and expecting it to do the work of an
entire assembly line all by itself.

A CNC needs someone to operate it, and needs a host of other equipment to
make useful PCBs besides it. But you know that.
