Of course they knew it. But they __also__ knew that buyers wouldn't figure it out until after buying the car.

Fast forward a decade, and now buyers want buttons.

Yes - people also would prefer to buy car with fancy big screen to buying car with lot of old school buttons. Because of fashion. After while, when big screen is not that fancy anymore, design can return to be functional again ... using physical controls.

And now, they know they can charge a premium for buttons. Isn't marketing wonderful?
