Dynamic control is pretty much the in thing. Once you dispense with direct or pneumatic linkages and go all electric (fly by wire), you can let the digital control system interfere totally, partially, with all sorts of filters between pilot and airstream.
Ultimately you dispense with the pilot. There are too many inputs and things are happening too fast. Once you get rid of the pilot you don't need to support all that bother of keeping them alive or limit the g forces.
You immediately get smaller, faster, cheaper, deadlier, harder to see on radar, yada yada.
And impossible to stop.
