Agreed. If smart fridges scanned your contents and made a shopping list (maybe texted you it) and it ended at that, it was hailed as amazing. Same for screens to display more complex settings and minimize buttons. Amazing in theory, clean looking no-button interfaces in kitchens and cars.

The second some feck-shite decided "oh hey we can also use that feature to spy on people" or to send ads on the screen was the moment it wasn't such a cool idea.

Buttons in cars are amazing, you can use them while keeping your eyes on the road.
