This gets complicated because if you start smelting but then add a craft job, you don't want to stop it in the middle of the craft job because the smelting was finished. This could be solved with prioritising crafting, but explaining the operation of a forge in one little journal page in simple words, not really possible anymore

Doesn't matter, because any change gets dissatisfied people. And I can't imagine the dissatisfaction being huge because it will still be a usability improvement.

But also more click-work, while the other solution is automatic. And it needs UI changes which is a lot more work for the developers than a simple logic to turn off the forge when empty.
