Obviously it was a thing for film cameras, but now that everything is digital, something like “just make the picture darker” seems extremely easy to do with software
quick edit, I know what ND filters are for and how to use them, no need to explain. it just seems to me that it could be engineered in a way that doesn’t require them, which is what I’m asking about

It’s worth mentioning that modern video cameras such as the Sony FX6 use electronic ND filters which are (virtually) infinitely variable. Think of like an adjustable LCD filter blocking the light – rather than some tinted glass you move into the light path. So in a way they’ve already come up with a better alternative.
