Default Why autopilot above 24000?

I been told by some friends who fly corporate aircraft that it seems to be a wide rule that autopilot must be used above 24000 (scheduled air service too), this came up around discussion of the Citation X. Is this due to the X be unstable above that altitude in thin air? The speed? Because ww2 fighters flew above that by hand with no problems at almost 500 mph? Any insights? thanks!
