If I get it right this is digital effects controlled by analog controls.
Whereas the holy grail of the audio world would be analog effects controlled digitally :)

Yes, but also more. For me, the greatest feature is the ability of running VST plugins without having to use a full computer/laptop, since my setup doesn't include any traditional computers.

That's been done for a long time already, bunch of Elektron Analog machines does this already, just one example.
It's been done but it's not really "mainstream" and standardized.
Imagine a standard where all your pedals etc can be recalled / automated from another (central) unit, with a protocol that the hardware can adapt to, motorized faders, rotary faders with leds, or basic components etc.
Maybe that's what Wes Audio is doing with the gcon protocol that has been linked below.
Recall time is what forced a lot of professionals to totally move in the box.
