> Were knobs ever gone in this context though?
Yeah, not all of them but compare a DX7 to a Montage 7.
The DX has 2 sliders and 2 wheels, and a bunch of membrane buttons.
The Montage has 2 wheels and something like 10 sliders and knobs, ignoring the general-purpose knob and selector wheel next to the display, plus a ton of specialised physical buttons.
