In 30 years I never heard the phase " maintain runway track".

The way you have phrased that sentence makes me believe you no longer fly, is that correct? I can assure you I hear it at least twice a week but it does seem to be a recent addition, as in say the last 2-3 years.
Hmmm! Been flying for 37 years in two countries including 800 hrs in the last 5 yrs over a big chunk of Oz.

Can't recall EVER hearing, "Maintain runway track".

I think flying an RNAV approach is pretty simple, but it killed 15 people a little while ago.
It weren't the RNV approach that killed those people! That was just one hole in a very holey swiss cheese!
