It doesn't matter how bulletproof the software is. It's already a huge downgrade that it must run on a chip. A mechanical linkage of cables or rods or a hydraulic system all have their failure points also, but the differences are the infrastructure required to manufacture a stick or a tube vs a chip and solenoids, motors, sensors, the fact that a cable or linkage or hydraulic piston usually fails gradually over a long time while still functioning, while a chip dies without warning and completely, and is not repairable in the field except by replacement, while you can repair a mechanical device essentially indefinitely with essentially any tools and materials that are available.
