[ELI5] why planes have 100s of buttons, dials, knobs

What the title says. Why does planes have 100s of controls and why does it increase when the plane size becomes bigger. Thats not the case with normals road vehicles. A large truck will also contain same controls as a small truck with may be 10-20% variation.

On a car: *check engine light shows up*

On a plane: Ey fuckers! Starboard wing fuel pump #1 failure, start fiddling with the 6 other pumps and 20 valves if you want to have working engines in the next 2 minutes!
