I wonder too, is that how cameras work nowadays? As opposed to point-of-focus metering, general metering uses software to "make the photo better" rather than using the same meter setting throughout the photo? I guess I shouldn't be surprised....
This would be another step of removing skill from photography. I think everyone who grew up using film cameras feels the same way I do: compared to film, digital photography is like cheating. But I'm not complaining!
