ND filters have their justification. Instead of dismissing them outright without giving any reason, let's look at what the EV setting is doing. The only way you can darken the exposure this way is via the ISO level (which only goes down so far) and finally the shutter time.
But many people don't like the way videos look with very short shutter times, because even in low level flight or fast camera movements, there will then be no visible motion blur (which the human brain expects in certain situations). This gives a very unnatural feel to those videos. To be able to have shutter speeds near twice the frame rate (advocated by many as a good choice if you want natural looking motion blur), you can then use ND filters.
If you don't care about motion blur and just want to get the exposure down a notch or two (it's easier in post production to lighten it up again than to restore overexposed footage ;-) ), by all means use the manual exposure feature settings or the EV correction in auto mode.
But ND filters have their legitimate use.
