The elevator in our apartment building has a touch-button(?) panel.

Guess what happens during the cold season when you you've got your gloves on? Yep, absolutely nothing! (bonus f.u. points if you are carrying stuff and cannot easily take the gloves off)

Luckily have a fully analogue car so I'm maintaining my sanity somewhat.

You guys don't have capacitive gloves so you can use your phone while wearing them?

Those often become sporadic or just stop working, and gloves for actually-cold weather are too thick or multi-material to have that feature.

Also, the people making the warmer gloves are more interested in keeping hands warm than in adding such features.
