Controlling a spaceship with a tablet seems terrifying. It's like the tablets in cars turned up to 11.
Granted, they still have physical buttons for important things, and a lot of the stuff they've using the tablet for probably isn't all that time sensitive, but still. Imagine being in orbit and still having to deal with some laggy Chromium UI!

Fuck it I'll go to the mat for this, applying web UX technologies to embedded system interfaces is the business of the most successful worker-owned cooperative in tech. Sure maybe physical controls would be better. Anyway if you have a steam deck you've used this company's work, which is cool.
