Perhaps, but it still requires cognitive resources to locate the area you need to touch. With physical keys, you could rely on muscle memory and touch to delineate the proper key.
Now, it's just a smooth strip that you cannot discern one part of from another solely by touch.

I agree with that. Guiding your fingers by sight rather than by feel is not as good. I don't think it's because you're redirecting your vision, since it's not moving much, but the lack of tactile feedback is still problematic.
