But your point is just about the GUI.
Digital meters can be made to look Analog and provide that exact same feedback.
For a super stupid example, the windows task manager in the sys tray shows CPU load via a veritcal bar, exactly like an Analog vertical meter would.
So it seems to be less about the medium and more about the designed controls.
