To control the amount of heat and not immediately burst into flames, for one.

It’s probably cheaper and simpler to modify (say you suddenly want it to turn on when you click 3 times) to use a 0.1€ chip than to figure out how to do it and build it with discrete components. 20 years ago I was all “computer (chips) can do everything! We can use them everywhere! Replaceable, reprogrammable, fantastic!” And no one cared. Now they are everywhere and it’s just a fucking mess 😔 Maybe 20 years from now the EU will have forced standards onto everything and you can (again) fix your dishwasher (and start it from work!!1!).

probably more expensive to make different mechanical components when a simple chip does it all for cheaper. how ev are cheaper than ice cars,
