I don't like electronic throttle either.
The main reasons were to cut emissions. So you can't pump the throttle, or have to much throttle at low revs. Also it makes it easier to incorporate a cruise control, etc. The Subaru have a censor that that won't allow throttle if parked against a wall in the wrong gear. I work for Road Service and I admit cars are more reliable, but anything more than a flat tyre or battery and the car gets towed. If you jump start a Mercedes the wrong way, you fry a 7000 dollars computer.
