The point you guys are missing is that SE purposely made this doable by placing the cursor at the RECIPE menu rather than at REQUESTED ITEMS. With the old set-up, you had to press down after each synth, which made mashing the X button useless. This required you to use a bot if you wanted to craft while AFK. The difference between the bot and a turbo controller is that the bot would carry out complex actions. There is nothing complex about using a turbo controller, and they've been around for AGES.

Therefore, SE must have known people would do this and they don't care, or they are simply incompetent.
