In 199x it was easier to tell were to click on a web site - hyperlinks were underlined and usually blue. On many modern sites links are de-emphasized; different sites using very different styles doesn't make it easier.
your (collective) POV doesn't need to be explained to me, I get it, it's a fun little intellectual puzzle to write a sentence which works both ways and magically the user intuits that clicking is the thing to do, but none of that says the other way is wrong. People choose to do it the other way because it makes sense to them. Who are you to say "no, it doesn't make sense to you"
Is this science or just kind of a style question?
people who make their own pages invariable "click here" and there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.
A few months back a proud father posted his daughter's first website that she made herself and it was all "click here" and not a single person either told her off or complained about the waste of time.
and you think "click here" disrupts accessibility, and the elimination of "click here" enhances it? poppycock.
Maybe you don't understand what accessibility is.

I honestly find the latter more confusing. It reads like documentation, so I'm primed to think that the link will take me to a documentation page about autopay settings rather than to my personal account settings. The former is very clear that it is prompting me to take an account action if I desire.
