The progression you're describing is interesting because each
step removes a different kind of friction:

- Relay logic: every change costs wire and screwdriver time.
  Bugs are physical. Forces complete design upfront.
- MCUs: logic is soft but I/O is still physical. You can
  iterate on the logic without rebuilding the panel, but you
  still can't test without hardware connected.
- GUI: nothing is physical. Adding a button costs nothing.

The thing I notice is that each step also loses a feedback
channel. With relay logic, a bad design announces itself --
relays chatter, solenoids misfire, you can literally hear the
bug. MCUs still have that through the physical I/O. Once
you're in pure software, the feedback is only what you
explicitly instrument. You gain freedom but lose the physical
system telling you things you didn't think to ask about.

Your "fun 60 or so years" spans an era when the discipline
shifted from being imposed by the medium to being imposed by
the programmer. That seems like it requires a different kind
of skill -- not less, but harder to teach because there's no
material forcing you to do it right.
