What would be a typical use case where user would want to have the underlying envelope removed when inserting a new automation item?
The current behavior where underlyin envelope is removed seems to create many problems. What is the reason for this behavior?
Here is one simple example where the behavior seems strange:
I would prefer inserting new AIs to preserve all underlying envelope points. There could be a separate action to remove the underlying points.

Try using the option to connect to AI from both sides. Everybody's happy. Then basically AIs become your envelope.
EDIT: On the other hand this might be a bug, since it's not creating a point where the old point was after AI is created, IF you start your AI collecting from the exact location of an envelope point?

But this is not the answer to the more fundamental question. Why someone would want the underlying envelope to be removed?
If you move the inserted AI, you can see that the underlying envelope is ruined. The same happens also with the "Both sides" connection preference. Why would someone want that kind of unexpected destructive behavior?

Yes, it might be a bug it this special case, but there are many similar issues related to the same fundamental behavior.
Here is another example:
See also how the envelope shape is ruined in front of the AI where the curved segment started. The curved shape is changed to linear after AI is inserted. This, and many similar problems, would be easily solved by preserving the underlying envelope.
Edit: With "Both sides" connection mode, it is not so easy to solve this particular case. It might be impossible to make the curved envelope segment in front of the AI to be exactly the same as before inserting the AI. But with "Neither side" and "Right side" connection modes it should work if underlying envelope was preserved.

FWIW, I reported this 3 times in earlier releases... I can't imagine any time where the curve break or the background ramp is useful.
There's also some instances where if you partially capture a curve, the resulting interpolation is pretty poor.

Well, that is not possible without a LOT more work, which would completely break some other parts we all love and use (SWS, for example, even though a decent number of envelope actions in SWS are in fact broken now - they need updating, because the chunk for AIs is not taken into account). Having a whole new GUI area would also break SWS contextual toolbars, for example.
So this was really the best possible solution without introducing a completely new part of the GUI that is not related to envelope lanes at all. Also, AIs are required to work when envelopes are NOT shown in separate lanes, that makes your proposition quite implausible.

I tried my hardest to stress this super early on I sincerely feel that AIs should be an expandable separate lane from the envelope, but collapsable to be viewable as we have them now. That way, inserting/deleting AIs does not require edgepoints, doesn't destroy other points (there's no points to destroy, they are alone in their own lane!), and would just simplify all of the bugginess and special cases.

Seems logical here-the only thing that does not in that gif is when moved right-the new positioned points could be ramped- not a sharp cutoff like that squared shape?? no join or ramping there? Oh I guess that's just how it works..k.
If you want additions you can add stacked trims right?
