maybe one reason is that it's far cheaper to do touchscreens than a bunch of individual parts and circuit boards? And EVs are already pretty expensive and need to be competitive, so maybe they try to cut costs where they can.

Add to that, I'm sure some market research is telling them either touch screens are popular, or that it's not a deal breaker for most people
