Cruise control saves driver fatigue as well. That also matters. Maintaining speed with your foot or cruise control is the same thing. Cruise control in my GTI here engages at all speeds. Clearly the Germans think otherwise on the issue and rightfully so.

Driving in Europe and driving in the US are two different things. In the US, you have people reading book, newspapers, etc.. I've seen women putting on makeup, men shaving, you name it. And if you can believe it, talking or texting on a cell phone. Yes, it's true, it's not against the law in the US, in some places!

I've driven on the autobahn. People there know how to drive, but I still wouldn't use cruise control at over 100 mph. And I'd love to see your research into how using cruise control saves driver fatigue.
