On one hand yes, but loads of modern aircraft rely on fly-by-wire (literally) technology.
I too get a bit nervous about “just a bit of wire” between me and the steering rack or between my foot and the brakes, but it has been working better than the purely mechanical equivalents in other transport areas for years.
