I'm confused about this as well. Someone I know has it and uses it all the time in their model Y.

It's still not fully self driving, which was the aim.

Ah, I see. In the way that you still need to be paying attention as the driver? That makes sense, but I feel like there's probably legal reasons for this.

This summer I got the opportunity to use it and I didn't need to correct it on an hour+ drive which was about 30% city/side roads and the rest interstate.

The non lidar approach boxes them in. They cannot achieve the context they need for FSD when road lines become faded or not painted it shits the bed. Even Waymo’s with lidar struggle with this.
