Just consider the difference between a fretted and non-fretted stringed instrument and the analogy is pretty clear.

It absolutely isn't. Sense of touch is very important in fretless instruments, but the real kicker is that you have the infallible feedback mechanism of your ears to help you fine tune pitch by rolling and bending your fingers.

It doesn't compare at all to touchscreen keyboards which have no feedback mechanism at all other than sight.
