One more advantage of direct injection two stroke engines - no primer
bulb.

Primer bulb - pfffhhhtt - ancient tech.

I understand your eTech runs on water vapors and pumps wine out the pee-er.

Not wine - bourbon.

BTW, in the years I have owned two Yamaha four strokes I never once have
touched the primer bulb.

Of course not.

I kid you not. Never touched either of them. In fact, I didn't even know
where the current one was until I opened the bilge hatch this past week
to work the valve for the livewell. There it was...untouched.
