You can talk about the differing batteries until you are blue in the face but most pilots just know that when they do a certain thing, a certain thing happens.
They are not technicians who are versed in all the ins and outs of the various systems.
They want something that does what it says on the box and doesn't introduce too many wobblies into it.
Being of the old school I'd find it hard to adapt to a cockpit that didn't have opening windows! Have I missed something or has this aircraft not got those?
If not then a large part of design philosophy seems to have gone wildly astray.
