The Autocue will still need scrolling while they're reading the intro to the guest (which is when they would normally cut to the screen). I suspect it would look rather awkward and be distracting, seeing the presenter operating the controller.
It's one thing to have a fleeting glance of it for a few seconds on a wide shot, but it's another thing to see them operating it in clear view.
