A failing hydrolic system will usually have some warning signs. Mushiness, stickiness, fluid on the ground.

Electronics can just flake out suddenly at inopportune times. I especially don't like the idea of fighting the electric motor if it's getting a stray "signal" to turn the other way.

I've seen enough electrical gremlins in cars over the years where computers suddenly go on the fritz ... "check engine" llights for no reason, "fasten seatbelt" lights while the seatbelt is fastened ... I don't want any of that stuff happening in the steering system.
