This is like "reverse Nokia". The then Nokia CEO rejected to adopt touchscreen technology because he thought "people like buttons". That was the start of Nokia's demise. Now, car companies took this lesson too zealously and replaced controls with touchscreen, but this completely compromises safety!
I miss my BlackBerry that had a touch screen and a physical keyboard. And it would have been great to have another smartphone platform out there; I wish they hadn't folded under the pressure from iphone and android. There's a pretty good chance I'd have gone for a less flashy Blackberry instead of a pixel to put grapheneOS on it, if Blackberry was still an option (and wasn't just an android platform when it was).
