I agree that auto-pinning is annoying and I myself use addons to disable this behavior.
But I believe that the main purpose of auto-pinning is to make stuff more discoverable. Otherwise people might not notice that there's an ongoing GP campaign.
Anyway, "it would be nice if there was an option for this" often turns into "there's an addon for that".

There's a big difference between addons with tens of thousands of lines of code that do lots of complicated things, and smaller, trivial addons.
The addon that stops the auto-pinning of pursuits has literally just one single line of code. It has absolutely zero impact or footprint. The addon to auto-claim tome points and the addon to auto-claim golden pursuits are similarly tiny and simple (though not quite single-line tiny) also with virtually zero impact and footprint. You could have hundreds of simple trivial addons like these and still have less footprint than a single "big" addon like Harvest Map.
Understandably, the vast majority of users of addons are not inspecting what each addon actually does, so most users mentally assign the same weight to each and get concerned when there are "too many" addons, but in reality the "weights" of each addon can vary from a feather to a brick.

On the flip side, is there an addon that allows us to have MORE pins? Or is that not possible? Guild Wars 2 has spoiled me in that fashion of keeping track of things I'm actively working on all at once.
