As a long-time Rubyist, I freaking love autoloading and have gone to great lengths to implement it in new frameworks I've developed after using Rails for many years. I find it fatiguing and ofttimes infuriating whenever I have to wade into a TypeScript project and there's 30 lines of import statements before I can get to any actual code. Any syntactical "noise" in a programming language bothers me to no end…I prefer to write expressive syntax which is as close to thoughts in the English language as possible.
I'm not saying the OP is "wrong"—that is, they're more than welcome to use whatever language they like and write all the import statements they prefer. I'm just glad I can choose to do away with all those distractions.
