Good principles of software design are simply different in different environments.
The microwave clock knows it's a microwave because it controls the microwave. It would be wasteful to put extra layers of abstraction in such a small system.
Likewise, a system designed for radiation tolerance will expect a close coupling between software and hardware; the whole point of the software in that case is the hardware.
