You're right. I agree with all of those points.
But to the original suggestion that consumers don't want this type of interface, I tend to agree with stein_325i that things are moving this way because, like big grills, people have already accepted that this is the way forward. And since people love their touch screen phones and devices, most probably see this as a move for the better even though it's arguably inferior from a safety perspective.
