Throttle by wire is nothing new. All Volvos since 98 have done it, MBZ and most of the German car makers do it. I'm sure many other companies use this technology as well. Bosch developed the technology by the time the Bentley book on Bosch FI was last updated (which was before LH-Jet 3.1).

You say that no servo would ever be as responsive as a throttle by cable... but I'd say that's not true. Cables stretch over time. A servo motor wouldn't. Just because GM and Volvo (and probably nearly everyone else) has done a piss poor job so far with it doesn't mean all implementations will be awful.
