I like the Butlerian Jihad and resulting ban on even the simplest of “thinking machines” as a way to help explain away any anachronisms, too. Clever solution.

I also appreciated that the recent movies haven’t tried to explain that, but hinted at it with, for example, analog gauges in the ornithopter.
