Not really? After it comes to the boil (<1m) you can turn it down to a simmer and leave it until the timer goes. Because it’s quick, if you err on the side of starting it late you won’t be far wrong, and if you do have it ready early, it’ll keep warm in the pan with the lid on for a decent length of time.
It’ll be ready when you are
this is no more true than it is for cooking it on the stove?

My experience has been very different. They take about the same amount of tone. While I’ve never had bad rice cooker results, I have screwed up several different ways on the stovetop. While I never pay attention to the rice cooker after I start it, I have had to watch it on the stove top to keep it from boiling over or drying out or burning

Rice cooks in 10-12 minutes on the stove but my rice cooker always takes 20 minutes at least. I can imagine screwing rice up but… not regularly? I just don’t think that putting a pan on to simmer is difficult or requires much attention. I have never burnt rice nor boiled it over. I have dried it out occasionally, but the rice cooker also sometimes does that.
