Why do some electrical converters/transformers only work with "mechanically controlled appliances"?

Post Body
If you want to use USA devices in the EU, many of the converters that let you do that specify that you must use devices with a "mechanical knob" which seems awfully arbitrary. I'd like to know why, and what would happen if you tried to use an electronic device with those transformers.
