I've always wondered why this capability (detecting repetitive patterns and offering an auto-complete option to apply it to the whole collection) is not more pervasive.
It's a very good interaction pattern, it would be more and more viable given increasing computing power and better understanding of context thanks to LLM, and would increase productivity and reduce boredom with little intrusive effects.
So why is nobody offering this feature in data-heavy UIs? (Except for Excel's column auto complete, which it's hit or miss but incredibly useful when it works).
