To have to navigate a screen to find a control is a traffic hazard. Also if it's just to play music.
Physical buttons are always ready to be pushed.

There's a limit to how many physical buttons before it goes the other way. Hyundai are already at 'enough' and the Kias I've looked at have way too many.

I mean, it's all very subjective, so "too much" for you seems to be what is a good amount for everyone else...but realistically, I don't think this is a legitimate complaint since you still need to be able to make all these adjustments anyway... it's just a matter of the way the adjustments are being made.

All a touch screen changes is that it can play host to multiple functions depending on context...but it loses much of the visual recognition and almost all the tactile feedback of a physical control.

And while vehicles keep getting more and more complex for sure, I feel like when I'm riding in a more touchscreen heavy vehicle, that screen is displaying the same static set of controls 99% of the time...and at that point, the flexibility it offers is largely irrelevant, and the tradeoffs mean giving up a lot to get very little in exchange.
