Industrial Iron Ingot Compacting Recipe Is Pointless

[etherealgears]

The recipe for industrial iron ingots using heated compacting is completely pointless. Why would I set up automation for these ingots when I can just stonecutter a single vanilla iron ingot into two whole blocks of industrial iron, and then deconstruct those into 9 industrial iron ingots each? Especially considering that whole process can be automated as well. Seems like a design oversight that should be addressed.

For me the normal create recipe is disabled, and heated compacting is the only option
