The point is to not have to scroll/twitch/pinch/flick/etc at all. The link is right there for your finger, or your mouse.
Except they don't follow you as you scroll down a page; as you scroll down, that's when they auto-hide and give you back your real estate. Your point was lost as it wasn't clear you had deactivated features of the site that, if left enabled, would have meant that all this time you wouldn't have to scroll all the way to the top of pages of posts.
Either way, wherever you need to click to go wherever, you still have to move left and right. Maybe I'm just used to a trackpad -- moving a point all the way across a screen take less than 2/10 of a second and physically about 1" of distance on the the pad.
