You can just use the screen for infotainment and satnav though.

I already have a screen showing what radio station is playing, and one on the dash telling me where to go. If a screen is required for a backup camera, just combine it. If I'm reversing I probably don't need the satnav anyway, whereas if I'm reversing or using satnav I probably do need other functions which just means you need an even bigger screen so you can fit everything on.

You're absolutely right, but my point is that the minimum number of screens is no longer zero.

Sure, but the screen need not have any touch capabilities. It doesn't need to be large either. A 2 inch screen is large enough for the camera functions.
