Hello JFP in PA,

nuclear power? Dream of 1950.
Laser guided? Dream of 1980.
Computer controlled? Dream of 1970.

Complexity and price. Bearing mounting machines with induction are on the market since around 2000. Induction cooking fields in kitchens today have a market share around 50% in Europe. So no rocket science.

I agree that complexity doesn't always mean better. But if you think about SENT - https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/SENT J2716: SENT - Single Edge Nibble Transmission for Automotive Applications - SAE International to replace car bus systems like CAN bus systems or other things than some tools people use are like a fireplace instead of a Smartphone to make light.

Regards, Markus
