Metaphors are easy to disagree with if you don't attempt to understand what they are used to try to communicate.

System one was an attempt to distinguish the "thinking" of thinking models (which is more akin to system two thinking with deliberate arguing/building up a decision) from fast instinctive thinking. It's a really good metaphor for the kind of trade-off or use case this applies to.

It is not and was never implying that it is a replacement for all human system one thinking activities.
