That actually sounds like a reasonable response. Driving assist means that a human is supposed to be attentive to take control. If the system detects a situation where it’s unable to make a good decision, dumping that decision on the human in control seems like the closest they have to a “fail safe” option. Of course, there should probably also be an understanding that people are stupid and will almost certainly have stopped paying attention a long time ago. So, maybe a “human take the wheel” followed by a “slam the brakes” if no input is detected in 2-3 seconds. While an emergency stop isn’t always the right choice, it probably beats leaving a several ton metal object hurtling along uncontrolled in nearly every circumstance.
Not even a second, it’s sometimes less than 250-300ms. If I wasn’t already anticipating it to fail and disengage as it went though the 2-lane wide turn I would have gone straight into oncoming traffic
I don’t know if that is still the case, but many electronic stuff in the US had warnings, with pictures, like “don’t put it in the bath”, and the like .
People are dumb, and you should take that into account.

If you give the driver enough time to act, which tesla doesn’t. They turn it off a second before impact and then claim it wasn’t in self-driving mode.

Yeah but I googled it after making that comment, and it was sometimes less than one second before impact: https://futurism.com/tesla-nhtsa-autopilot-report
