I recall reading that Thrust II (running at 1000mph but somewhat closer to the ground) used analog meters so that a glance could get an approximate value and rate of change quickly and in a situation of heavy pilot vibration. I couldn't find the original article, but I found this breathless page from the manufacturer which alludes to this. https://masterhorologer.com/2014/05/03/rolex-unveils-two-bes...

.NET Framework is part of Windows. That means it is very stable and supported for a very long time. But it is also not possible to evolve it further. That is why the .NET team forked it to make .NET Core, which is cross platform and installs versions side by side. This is what evolved into .NET, most recently .NET 8.

Look through a polarized filter to spot places under stress? At least that might work if it was plastic.
