Yep. Knobs and dials were never "broken". In fact, they never "broke" until they were replaced with *not* knobs and dials.
I can climb into my truck on any given day and have the heater or A/C working inside of 1 second. In my wife's car (which isn't even touch-screen, mind you) it takes a lot of looking* and feeling* to sort out the multitude of over-thought clicky things. My truck has three large knobs for the entirety of the climate control system, and just two of them provide 99% of the functionality. My wife's car has two knobs and 8 buttons for the same features*, and
none of them are intuitive.
Touch screens make this mess even worse.
* The *only* system on planet Earth that I can sort out where this sort of fidgety makes sense is a woman's body!
