Rather than having a designer who worked out a design from scratch on a drawing board to suit the manufacturing methods of the time, then refined it through developement, modern designers get the computer to run simulations to get a product that uses the bare minimum of materials to get the desired performance suited to a different set of more advanced manufacturing techniques. The result is undoubtedly more sophisticated, but seems to have little of the human touch - which may well include the foibles and idiosynchrasies of a less than technically perfect product that gives the elusive "character".
Far less regulation to be complied with in the past than currently as well.
