I agree.

Am I the only person who filed two flight plans (if I remember the training
drill) for my short and long cross countries in 1962 - then have flown for
the following 43 years without filing a VFR plan?

I wonder how I ever survived.

here in the UK the way a VFR flight plan works is that the pilot
nominates a responsible person (family member, FBO etc) to make the call
if they are overdue rather than have the ATC make assumptions. The basis
is that no news is good news.

That's the way most of us who don't file flight plans do things over here.
