Ah, Hope springs eternal in the heart of the confirmed tweakaphobe.
The old warhorse, "good solid engineering" argument. The better designed components? As opposed to the components that are not well designed? That's funny!

I gave specific examples, as you requested. Now imagine the exact same situation, except that the people don't know anything about engineering or physics. Results will be the same. Tweaks will work in some systems, but not in others. Since scientific knowledge is increasing and since new technologies have unforeseen quirks, this situation can also happen even when the people are up to date in their knowledge.
One of the attributes of quality components is consistent operation in a large range of environments. In that sense a BMW is a better car than a Ferrari, as it (supposedly) spends less time in the shop. It may not be as fun to drive or attract as many hot women, but those are different questions. :-)

You do realize that digital components are not so much susceptible to EMI/RFI as they are generators of it? Hel-loo! There is no escape.
Yes, I've heard the car analogy before, but I don't buy it. There are tons of BMWs in the shop here, they actually appear to be a maintenance nightmare, not much better than, say, Jaguar. So there goes that particular argument. I'll take a Ferrari ANY day. The maintenance argument ironically is supposed to make Ferrari owners feel bad and folks who drive Toyotas feel good. Exactly the same illogical argument you're using for tweaks!
You did notice that I wrote "(supposedly)", didn't you? Alas, I am too well aware of the specifics with regard to BMW's. :-(
