"...satisfying handle..."

I detest that sentiment. The brake handles I had to use sooner or later were too soft, no matter the maintenance. So, I started to pull as strong as possible because otherwise the cars weren't standing still on steep hills -- I never had that issue with electric parking brakes; I love that.

And manual parking brakes aren't really wonders of mechanical simplicity anyway

They're actually really simple? Two wedge-shaped brake shoes that cam into the inner diameter of the wheel.

More not easy to servicd if they seized and you can disassemble half the car to get to all the cables and so on
