Late reply but if you've ever thickened something with cornstarch, the stirring to prevent lumps is a pain in the ass. That's why modified corn starch in instant pudding and such is so popular. Or gravy packets. It's the actual work of any sauce making. Unfortunately grocery stores don't really sell modified pre gelatinized corn starch outside of pudding or gravy packets.

Yes... Which is why one stirs the cornstarch into a bit of cold water, then pour that into what needs thickening - no lumps.
