Squawk, you missed Garmin Autoland.. Now you don't even need to be a pilot to land a plane! Plus it will "communicate with ATC for you". You're right, it's not happening overly fast due to the ridiculous amounts of money involved to have stuff certified these days and I sympathise completely with those not wanting any electronics in their Tiger Moth or Cub at all.

The real danger here is that folks will spend their entire time eyes-in fiddling with the knobs and forget the joy of actually flying.
