    You wouldn’t want to build a flight computer with hard-wired (as in literal wires) software

    We can use an FPGA for that

      The software was the thing that was in the wires, not I/O.

      The wires would be replaced by FLASH memory.

        Wouldn’t they use a MROM or something instead, because flash memory can be quite volatile in the extreme conditions?
