What makes today’s design debugging so complex

Why does the task of circuit debugging keep getting complex year by year? It’s no longer looking at the schematic diagram and sorting out the signal flow path from input to output. Here is a sneak peek at the factors leading to a steady increase in challenges in debugging electronics circuits. It shows how the intermingled software/hardware approach has made prototyping electronic designs so complex.
