Indeed. And that is just an extension of the danger presented by electronic systems generally.
When learning to fly sailplanes, I was always grateful that the "primitive" wood, steel and canvas gliders I flew had purely mechanical linkages between the controls and the control surfaces, and only one instrument that required electricity at all (and even that was duplicated by a purely mechanical version).
Obviously automation has great advantages, but inevitably the increased complexity comes with risks which are more difficult to fully comprehend.
I’m also a glider pilot and I also appreciate the simplicity of the basic systems, but I feel like it’s worth noting that you’re far more likely to die in a glider crash than you are in a modern airliner full of complex software.
