Well...I would put it differently.  In the pre-microprocessor days, 
there would have been a pot and a bunch of other components which would 
have added some significant amount to the cost of the radio.  Now the 
function is handled by firmware whose only cost is that of the initial 
development.

Multiply this by many similar functions, and you have a radio with a lot 
more capabilities for less cost.  It's not paranoia, just effective use 
of technology.
