I'd go the other way with this. Many cars in the 90s and 2000s had terrible electrical gremlins but were mechanically solid, mostly as a result of adding additional computers and entertainment systems to the cars in those days. Now that manufacturers have all learned their lessons, electrical issues are now quite rare but they keep adding hardware like new sensors, turbos, catalysts and injectors that add mechanical failure points. I expect into the 2020s, mechanical failures will continue to rise while electrical issues will stay quite low.
