This is very true. I'm an old carb, points, and mechanical diesel fuel injection guy. It's what you learn and grow up with.
When I bought my first electronic fuel injected N-14 Cummins back in the 90's, I was concerned, that someday this sob is not going to start, and I won't know wtf to do. Mechanical Cummins problems, I could diagnose in minutes.
It finally happened about 20 years later one morning. Crank, no fire. Luckily it was in my driveway, not 3000 miles away in a truckstop. Still had to get my mechanic son over, he quickly diagnosed power to the ECM, but nothing coming out. Thousand Dollars later, ECM rebuild, fired right up.
Hobby stuff, I'll still stay with carbs and distributors. :)
Not your best argument since it took 20 years to not fire up. :giggle:

Don't get me wrong, I wasn't complaining. It was the greatest, most trouble free, moneymaking engine I ever owned. It was just my old stubborn stupidity and resistance to change. ;)
