No argument from me, but I think a lot of the "pumping" you reference was because of an automatic choke not working properly. My first car was a 1967 Malibu (convertible) with a 283. I recall installing new choke springs(the part that sat in the manifold and responded to heat)- lubricating linkage to keep it working- bending links to get the right amount of choke-setting high idle, etc. I recall playing with the choke pull-off trying to get it just right. Etc. In short, I don't miss automotive carburetors at all. Even when maintained, they were so crude. I am still amazed with my fuel injected automotive engines. My pickup is also a farm service truck, and as such gets a lot of idle time. It can set there and idle for as long as I want, and it never loads up. Get in, and take off. No black smoke, no hesitation from being too rich. So the same carb. which hesitated from being lean (cold) could get you with the other extreme!
Now I'm remembering, on a cold morning, I could hear the choke snap shut when I touched the gas pedal on my old 283.
