A tank moving a pack of mobs too much, a boss who can toss your turrets aside or is hitting so hard that he destroy them ? You have better not forget to replace one in attack range if you dont want your dps to go down. All the mobs of a pack minus one are dead ? Dont forget to switch to a rook one. Actually they are more interactive than you said, and you have better not totally forget them.
You just described the exact way SMN positions its ranged pet.

It would literally be the exact same number of buttons to do everything, only that the turret would hover around beside the MCH when it doesn't have a command issued.

And yes, that would open the door for more interaction and synergy between the MCH and their turrets, but babysitting a turret is, IMO, much more fun than babysitting a heat meter.
