No, I don’t see those very often but I’m reasonably certain that I could install and adjust one without much more very few problems. It’s not like either one lacks limit screws or cables or attaches in any significantly different way. Honestly electronic ones have more differences and they still rely on the same kind of technology as a 70s Simplex derailer.
Sounds like you've never seen one. There are 2 major differences that you'd know if you ever had...wanna tell me what they are? Yes, this is a test. It's very easy for anyone that's worked on one of them. 'Very few problems'? A single one is enough to keep it from working properly. And no...the Di2 derailleurs are more similar to 'normal' derailleurs then the toggle link are. Go ahead, tell me what you think the 2 big differences are. They're pretty obvious.
