I know a project manager who does hardware stuff and he tells me it's a different ball game.

Instead of issues being limited to software scope you also get issues from external factors. Imagine something like "Our supplier says we can't get these screws for another three weeks" and the developers have no control over that.

You’re right, it’s a completely different ballgame - and supply chains are a big part of it. But there are already some companies who actually are working that way. That’s why I am so curious about it. The hackathon was part of a whole conference dedicated to the topic, with people reporting from practice.
