Perhaps. But I (my computer) was calling one of the expeditions a night or two
ago on FT8 F/H when I decided that I needed another beer. I walked out to the
kitchen and when I came back I had "worked" him.
I have on occasion quit calling a station only to have them active my
transmitter and move me to their frequency and complete the contact.

You guys don't know what you are talking about.
The WSJT Modes, including FT8 and FT4, require a live operator ( not someone
sleeping ) to initiate each contact.
( There is also a time-out timer that limits the number of times it
calls/replies before going back to standby )
and
The ARRL requires at live operator ( not someone sleeping ) to initiate each
contact before they will consider the contact legitimate.
