Exactly. And voting on paper to me seems hackable as well, just with different methodologies, such as Gerrymandering.

Gerrymandering is orthogonal - both paper and computer-based voting are vulnerable to gerrymandering.

Gerrymandering can exist with both systems. Voting machines have no benefits at all.

However, i-Voting does have the benefit of making it much harder to cause voter supression (assuming there's free ($) access to whatever provides access to voting).
