It’s Hydraulic ASSIST, not hydraulic actuation. It’s still a mechanical rack and pinion.
The reason people equate electric assist with poor feedback is because the early implementations of electric steering in cars had really poor feedback. It took a few generations to get it right. Still, the last hydraulic assist systems generally had better feel and MUCH better weight to them than even today’s electric racks.
