This reminds me of the equally interesting framing of modern computer failure rates in similar terms to mechanical parts.

This is also a very fun exploration of how many things start mechanical and move to more solid state as they age. I'm curious what major mechanical items are left to move over to solid state? My guess is most things that have changed were instruments in larger things. Gyroscope devices are a fun example.
