The electronic control is much more precise than a spring and can react to air temp, humidity, etc.

None of that has anything to do with the method used to open the throttle blades. In theory, a person could install a cable on a modern EFI system. It would still start in cold weather, it would still compensate for air density, etc. It just wouldn't have any built-in electronic delay when you floor it. And that's what Choco is talking about.
