Carbs suck too. But electronics have a limited lifespan and are not easy to work on. On my 1995 F-150 an airbag module (circuit board thing) malfunctioned, and no one is making new ones. I needed it working to pass mandatory state inspection. Had to get a new module from a junkyard and it luckily worked, but that isn't viable long-term. Carbs, as much trouble as they are, are viable long-term.
