In the US, all cars will have screens now of one sort or another. Laws were passed requiring the installation of backup cameras in all cars. So, you will never see a new car that doesn't come with a screen of some sort. And if it's going to be required to have a screen, they're not going to make it a single use only for backup cameras.

I don't necessarily disagree with you in general, I do think we're going to continue to see touch screens dominate, but I thought I'd point out a significant outlier to anyone who like the OP doesn't like touch screens: The Mazda 3.
On the latest Mazda 3 (2019+) it does seemingly only use the screen for info and back up camera. There's a big wheel in between the seats to move about the menus. I test drove one recently and it is very nice and intuitive.
