Coordinated turns without rudder, and autopilots

Why are they more coordinated when performed by the autopilot than when
performed by the pilot (without rudder)?

Especially shallow ones initiated by wing levelers or low end autopilots.

Autopilots often put the aircraft into a standard-rate turn, which isn't
exactly shallow, even if it isn't terribly steep.

They also start the turn rather gradually, which minimizes the adverse
yaw.

If I hand-fly a standard rate turn, the rudder application only lasts
for maybe 3 seconds at the beginning and end of the turn.
