Look at Dacia in Europe, they are exactly that. Maybe not crank windows, not sure.Ā

Iā€˜d guess electrical windows are maybe even cheaper nowadays

That's the point tho... a touchscreen is cheaper than an interface of buttons. You write some software and mass produce 1 screen. It's cheaper than the buttons

Exactly. Fancy schmancy tech can 'evolve' all it wants, but our bodies cannot. We still have hands and fingers. We like to touch and manipulate and move physical buttons, knobs, sliders, etc. especially when driving.

Tactile feedback is important if you want to work controls without having to look away from the road.

When you can navigate your dash and center console by feel, you won't have to look away. Touchscreens make that entirely impossible because there is no positional feedback for the brain unless you look. Once you're past the edge of the screen, everything feels the same.
