To me, that summarises to Why can't we do it the simple way?

Again, why use a combustion engine that requires fuel when you can just use the horses we already have?

Horses are a combustion engine that requires fuel, and a fairly high maintenance one, low power-to-weight ratio combustion engine, at that.

On the plus side, they run on renewable rather than fossil fuels.
