Also, while they are physically fragile, they are electrically quite robust - they can stand a lot of electrical abuse.

Well, they're not all soooooo physically fragile

Plus -- do recall that the first generation of guided missles used vacuum tubes a-plenty.

Yes, there are exceptions, but they tend to be a bit more fragile (physically) than semiconductors.
