This is already the norm in quite a few places in England. They auto-generate a tip on the bill and if you want, you can request the tip to be removed after.

And I did that every single time, when I was in London some time ago

They should auto generate it into the prices and auto generate it into the salary. Crazy concept

They should, but they instead taught the staff to demand why you don't want to. I refused in one place and was confronted with them demanding why I wasn't giving them one.

"Was there something wrong with my service? You know that the tip is shared between us and the kitchen...."

I'm not joking.

God, I encountered this once and had to ask for it to be removed. I countered with "are they paying you enough?"

A little backbone from a few customers will make them hate using this system enough, it can be hoped.

We had the shittiest service ever at Fogo de Chao and I tipped $20 on a $150 bill. The waiter actually followed us to the door questioning why the tip was low and insulting us.
