Also the desire to copy vs innovate. How many "1 button + proprietary dialect of morse code" monstrosities happened because someone heard Johnny Ive brag about reducing the number of buttons on the apple remote?

i used an apple remote recently in an airbnb, i don't know what generation, but it was an atrocious experience. Why would buttons also be a touch interface that perform the same function as the underlying buttons? It was very confusing.
