With a stick one can quickly disengage clutch and pump the gas pedal when the engine is attempting to stall. With an automatic it requires left footing the brake while pumping gas pedal to keep the motion of car under control if close obstructions are present.

I've seen people that simply can not do that with either sticks nor automatics. Maybe has something to do with personal coordintaiton, IDK. But if one does not know how to drive a car or lacks coordination of feet and has severe hearing problems then they should wait until the engine is at least reached operating temperature.
