What you are expressing is just a bias against computer engineering over traditional engineering. It's always been the case that the biggest difference is in the design and preapration of the car - it's just that nowadays electronics are part of that process. Having a really well built chassis is a driver aid. Running the best tyres is a driver aid. Lowering the centre of gravity is a driver aid. These old fashioned driver aids sit well with the retro fans, whereas computer enhancements (an inescapable element in virtually all modern machines) do not. I'm suprised that some of the luddites can bear to discuss F1 on a computer! The difference between drivers is still evident on race day.
