I don't think he is at all. There is a certain amount of pleasure that comes from driving a car without "Nannies". I could honestly care less about Zoned Climate Control, LED Head lights, and Heated Seats. Don't get me wrong, those things are all nice, but all that sissiness is for someone the likes of Jones.
Honestly I think we are in the latest "Golden Age" right now. It comes in cycles each time Technology leaps forward. There are times when I wish all I had to do was spin a screw driver and watch a Vacuum gauge. On the other hand, tuning with a few snicks with the keyboard is so nice.
EFI is a wonderful thing. I think the fact that modern High Power cars are just as temperamental and hard to live with on the street today as they were 20 years ago. Too many people watch You Tube and see how that so-and-so Vette just made 2000 HP, or that GT-R made 1600, even anything 6-800. And think it's easier today than "yesterday". Try driving it. You'll stab yourself in the Neck. It's just as lousy as and "Old Technology" car was.
