I too agree that it increases the workload on the PM a whole lot, especially in busy airspace...

The captain didn't seem too upset. The profile into LA is just a really long final. It was severe clear we could see the ocean from over PSP. Not too much work for the PM at all. I've flown with a few people who handfly below 180. I have no problem with it. The autopilot can be deferred you better be able to fly the airplane.
