Not every advancement is bad. Fred Flintstone finally traded up to rubber tires. There have been good technological advancements since we were chucking rocks at a T-rex. :upset:
I'm not talking about comfort or efficiency. Advancements like fuel injection aren't
intrusive. I don't want to be the car right
behind the one that fully brakes without driver input (and leaves 400 yards to the obstacle:upset

BANG. Wake up in the ER, again. And it's probably my "fault".
I want... I NEED... it to be predictable and do
exactly what I tell it too. If you are trusting the ECM to save your life, what happens when the human who programmed it isn't perfect? It will be a generation of riders who only know how to pin the throttle, mash the brake lever, and ride way above their skillset until that inevitable day when something in this big bad world does something the program doesn't expect.
Of course good advanced ABS/ traction control is better than me, better than you, but for those specific things only and totally not the point. What if I
need to unexpectedly slide it a bit and I am denied by the program?? Taking that control away from me is what I fear.
