Midway was a Japanese command failure. They failed to adjust their attack plan to the presence of the American carriers in time to save their carriers. IMO it was a case of command hubris which hindered their decision to redirect their entire attack plan against the US carriers. Plus that CXAM-1 radar-thingy and CAP of the American carriers.

We are on a slippery slope making all these systems to think for us.
