You sort of hit the nail on the head there. That's not a physical button. It's a physical button tied to terrible software. The software is the problem, and if the button either changed the volume in an analogue way (ideal), or Subaru had engineers who were writing better software (both less ideal and much less likely to happen), there would be no issue.

I'd rather have good digital than analogue. The aftermarket head unit in my car has an encoder that responds instantly, and accurately. So I can either click it once for a small change or turn it quickly more for a big change.
I'd much rather that than an analogue potentiometer that is guaranteed to be scratchy in a couple of years. Also you won't get steering wheel controls to work with a true analogue knob.
