It isn't just Trump... I think in general people think more advanced tech is necessarily more complex. Don't know about catapults, but in general this is not true. EVs are simpler than IC-engine cars. Semiconductor electronics is simpler than vacuum tube electronics.

The "digital" aside (what does he think that means?) I don't get why he feels like he needs an opinion here. It's a technical question, it doesn't trigger the libs... does he think the steam comes from burning coal or something?

Without knowing any more details, my top-of-the-head guess would be that EM is likely to be much safer. Any time you're dealing with high-pressure steam you're dealing with risks of explosions and leaks and things. Plus you need a whole steam system.
