A lot of the time HN users just have very different priorities and tolerances. I see all the time people ranting about induction stove touch controls. I have used both gas stoves and inductions for years and the touch controls never bothered me, yes they beep and disable if you spill water on them, but you wipe it with a paper towel and move on. While cleaning a gas stove with knobs is a huge pain that impacts me so much more.

There is no objectively right opinion. It just depends on how much you are bothered by either downside.
