So now its all computerized. You don't get a knob on the dash to personalize exactly how much fuel to air you want. The OEM sets that and you go on about your day without ever caring.

No, not quite. The choke was basically just a kludge to enrich the fuel-air mixture beyond the limits of what a carburator would otherwise be mechanically able to achieve. If it had had this ability -- something like "below-idle", where idle is the lower limit of where the carburator can keep the engine running -- then there would never have been a choke. Fuel injection can do that because of the different physical / mechanical way it mixes air and fuel. It has nothing to do with the computerization per se.
