Planes are expensive due to the difficulty of certifying them and maintaining the right to sell them under various regulations, not because they're using physical switches.

Yes, but large price and low volume (and actual technical acceptance criteria) also means they're not gonna be obsessing over saving fractional cents on control panels.
