One advantage for pneumatics that I haven't seen countered is the availability of rare earth metals. Eventually they will get very scarce. I seriously don't there are enough on the planet to supply all cars. I could definitely see an automotive landscape where plug-ins and EVs use almost all of the rare earth metals. The other cars will use pneumatics.
