The problem is that even when both the variable and the function are named
in a descriptive manner, neither extremely rarely determine exactly what
the return value type of the function is. As in, the actual basic type,
type alias, struct or class (or even lambda), by name.

If you are just trying to get a cursory picture of what the code is doing,
as in, like, trying to understand at a higher level what the action is
that it's performing, or what algorithm it's implementing, then perhaps
knowing the actual return type, by name, isn't often extraordinarily
important.

However, when you *do* need to know exactly what the concrete type is,
by name, not just what "kind of type" it is (in a more abstract generic
manner), then it becomes an obstacle because the name has been hidden.

Quite often the exact type doesn't become clear even in the subsequent
code that follows the above. The subsequent code might, for example,
call some member function of that object... but that doesn't really
say much. Perhaps, if well named, it gives you a generic idea of what
is being done, but it doesn't tell you what the actual type is, or
where to find it.

It's just yet another obstacle in trying to understand in detail the
code. And yes, I have a lot of experience in trying to read and
undrestand that kind of code, and becoming frustrated when such types
are being hidden behind 'auto'. In many of these situations it's not
enough for me to get a cursory idea of the abstract behavior of that
type. I need to know the exact type, by name.

I don't understand that question at all.

"Excessive use of X is bad" does not mean "every single case of excessive
use of something is bad". Why are you clinging to that word, "excessive"?
