Does anyone *really* like "touch controls" on anything?

When you see "touch controls" on earbuds, lights, appliances... are you like "heck yeah! no buttons!"

I just think they are cheaper to make IPx4+ than other methods of control. But, they are always highlighted like it's a feature.

(And why is IPV6 so similar to IPX6 making me confuse them all the time?)

@futurebird My car has all touch buttons, lots of them, plastered all down the center column under the touchscreen. It's all touch xcept the volume knob and it's super annoying. Want to turn up the fan? Run the risk of turning on the heated seats instead. Want to make the screen go to the climate menu? Nope, defrost is now on. Want to adjust anything without taking your eyes off the road? Hope you have a photographic memory and a steady hand.
