Whenever I stumble on the DIYs for "automatic" Espresso machines, I always wonder if the manual machines (think La Pavoni or Olympia) are not just simpler to use for controlling pressure. Obviously, then you're still missing temp control. I guess I just like more simple stuff

Completely agree. It feels like as techies we latch on to the problem we know how to solve.

A lot of the manual stuff lets you control temp too. Espresso was largely solved without any computers a long time ago.
