I do not know if this applies to all stoves with tactile buttons, but the one I have turns itself off if anything hot is put on the buttons. This happens both if you overcook something and boiling water/food pours all over the stove, or if you happen to put a frying pan on the buttons. But yes, overall I do agree with you. My one major annoyance is that changing temperatures is slower than with a rotating knob.
