Servo Controlled Arm

I've purchased a JVC QL-Y3F Turntable )bought originaly in 1983) with servo controlled arm. As I've been reading about tonearms and compliance it has made me curious why the servo controlled arm didn't catch on. I have a Denon DL160 cartridge and it hasn’t even considered skipping. Now that I've listened for a considerable length of time I'm curious what other people have to say.
Sincerely,

The point being in a servo linear system the tracking error is so miniscule that little to no correction is needed similiar to a servo in a sub its only called upon when needed

Whats worse an arm that can adjust its positioning if needed or an arm that is off and doesnt possess the ability or awareness to correct itself

No gimmick as low tracking can attest add virtually no distortion due to precision dipersion an u have an arm that simulates cutting lathe for the master stamper
