It looks like you're right that this is a bigger problem on post-2020 vehicles where software updates started getting normalized.
However, it is also true that an electric system is much more incrementally controllable than an ICE system. Granular levels of control are being pushed much farther on EVs for that reason.
Not really, everything on a modern car is already fly by wire so the level of control is already there, give me a specific example of an inherent difference.
E-brake is a mechanical connection on a lot of cars. Brakes are mechanical. Gear selector on manuals is mechanical, pretty sure that's the case for modern autos as well. Doors and locks are mechanical.
Re: the drivetrain, with EV cars you can dial acceleration up or down as much as you want without hurting anything since you're just asking the motors to run at different rates. With ICE, running at suboptimal RPMs and fueling will damage your motor so there's less opportunity to push that level of control.
