I dont care if people use openers or followers or not, I just want the AI to pick the right lineup as the setting allows.

I don't think I am
The opener/follower is a defensive strategy
Setting your lineup is an offensive strategy to combat the opener/follower strategy,
So, what is the counter strategy to setting the lineup based on likely follower?
In real life the counter is to either use a different follower, or let the opener pitch longer based in the opponent's lineup. But these options aren't available to the user in OOTP.
No matter what, because it's not played in real time, one team isn't going to be able to counter the other team's strategy,
So, no, it's not fair for the offensive team the way it is now.
But, to not allow the pitching team to do something to counter the offense's strategy (set lineup for likely follower), isn't fair to the pitching team.
