From a user experience perspective, it seems strange to me that one would only consider the driver experience and not include the passenger. I 100% agree with you about the need for tactile non distracting controls for the driver. At the same time carplay controlled by the passengers phone has a lot of value in terms of value add to passengers.

This may be true, but in terms of priority, I'd estimate that a car carries multiple people only 5-10% of the time it's used.

In the case of being driven by the passenger's phone, there's no need for a touchscreen in the car itself.
