Seems plausible, at least. A button is cheaper than a touchscreen, but you can replace N buttons with one touchscreen. (Citation still needed, though.)

I guess at some point a (modal) GUI is more space efficient than individual controls.

At some point cars had screens, surrounded by physical buttons. I always thought that was a great compromise.
