Not always, there are starting to be some good digital systems. Analogue is just cheaper and lighter.

“Starting to”? DJI FPV is two years old and naked Vista is negligibly heavier than analog (and it mostly matters for micros, anyway)

Yes, something only available for two years qualifies as starting to. In the realm of transmitting video 2 years is definitely early stages.

Naked vista overheats, there's a reason it comes with heatsinks.

There's also been severe availability issues with the DJI gear.
