Default Why don't voice radio communications use FM?

Not yet.

As far as I know (and hope), these cockpits don't have any trace of
Windows running in them. If they do, the situation is much more dire
than I had feared.

The problem is that the ergonomy of the systems is shifting towards a
desktop PC model, instead of an aviation model.
