Not disingenuous at all. MMOs are meant for player cooperation. Putting Bots in to replace people is taking the multiplayer out of the equation. Even if you feel differently about it. Part of this challenge, to get other players to cooperate with you to achieve the desired goals is a staple of MMO culture.

There is a reason you can't do savage and bigger raids with bots, so when they add bots to 4 man dungeons, it is a dilution of this formula. No matter how convenient you may find it. This sort of thing is also what partly gave purpose to guilds and free companies, wherein belonging to one added the benefits of a pool of players that could help you and you could become friends.
