You can still get these. No screen no settings. Prime lens Full frame. US$20 each 🤣

Well, yes. Finding a camera that fulfils all the criteria if you ignore the rather fundamental “digital” bit is about as difficult as falling off a log. That’s kind of the point. Until someone put microchips in cameras, basically every camera on the face of the Earth ticked the boxes.

Essentially, I’d like one where the only thing any silicon is used for is the bit that converts photons into a file on a card.

Ok but seriously that's like most phone cameras. Yes there are settings but most phone camera UIs hide those settings and there are no traditional external controls. It's basically point and shoot.  Do you really need the big sensor?

And you don't even have to worry about memory cards you can upload straight from the phone to the internet or where ever.
