I've heard the same. I think it will come down to how it's implemented. In my personal experience, Honda and BMW do DBW throttle very well, Porsche initially did it poorly but now does it well, and Toyota currently does it poorly. I have nothing intrinsically for or against DBW throttle or braking.

This is not entirely true. The 2015 Infiniti Q50 had SBW. The 2016 model went back to hydraulic steering due to complaints.

It still has a mechanical linkage, look at a diagram of the setup. It absolutely has a backup mechanical linkage, in comparison to a DBW throttle that lacks a mechanical wire to the throttle plate.
