This is the same for electronic test equipment as well. There are so many features crammed in new devices, even if you manage to get enough controls for the basic cases on the front panel, a lot is still hidden in nested menus galore and they aren't necessarily sensible or discoverable or even work properly. This results in semi-religious fighting over which update is the least shit and people refusing to accept updates because they fear them.
The outcome, at least with electronics, is that you'll find a lot of 30-40 year old equipment nestling next to the state of the art with a sticker on it "for indication only". This equipment does a lot of the real work while the new stuff is used for validation and traceable measurements only. Due to rapid progress in technology, people cling to the last thing they felt any physical connection with.
This will pass in time as the status quo is accepted for younger generations. Fly by wire it is.
(I am incidentally a rather large fan of analogue and modular synthesizers and half built one in the late 1990s with 1970's electronic equipment, some of which I still own!)
