What if--and stay with me for a moment--what if it's good for different manufacturers to have different approaches to the problem, giving people the option to choose Honda for buttons or Tesla for touchscreens?

What if there are legitimate arguments for both and it's good that there's both options available?

If your metric is safety, control, and effectiveness, there is not an argument. Touchscreens are a cost saving measure, not a feature.

That's why there are so many high-end phones with lots of buttons.

You left out the last part: "Touchscreens are a cost saving measure, not a feature."
