There are definitely cases where machine learned statistical solutions do not perform as well as the systems tuned by the experts, but if you can define the task well and get the data for a deep solution, usually those will overtake.
This is likely because linear regression meets most widely accepted definitions of machine learning. [0][1] It is simple and very effective when learning in linear space.
