Not all hardware is digital but we can solve most of the hard parts in the digital domain. There's no reason to do everything analog just because it starts or ends that way.

A lot of RF design has been reduced to arrays of dumb antennas that are wired together in software. Starlink is probably the best example of this right now.

You still need people who can build the analog systems and engineer the nasty parts of the signal chain, but you don't need a lot of them.
