You don't know what he's talking about because you don't know a lot about Android.
The automatic setup is extremely limited, no app data, no SMS, no call logs, no deeper settings changes, no home screens etc. etc.
The person you're talking about probably did what I did, which is restored almost everything off his original phone to the S5 which takes a long time to do. It took me a few hours to transfer everything from my S3 to my S5 including text messages, call logs, app data, re-creating homescreens, updating apps that aren't 4.4 compatible etc. etc.
It takes a long time to fully migrate a phone.
