I disagree somewhat, the issue isn't that the infotainment system is a touch screen based series of menus, the problem is they are almost universally shit. They often use resistive screens which have been utter shit since the day they were invented, and only support single touch, making them useless for gestures. The software is slow, the refresh rate of the screen/GPU is brutally slow and primitive, etc. I don't know if capacitive screens and proper GPUs are just somehow incompatible with cars, or what the engineering problem is to get solid framerates with solid responsive time in a good looking screen, but no car manufacturer other than Tesla seems to have been able to solve this problem. Now that doesn't address everything you're pointing out here, which several of these are legit points. I'm just saying if my car's touch screen felt more like an iPad and less like an Android tablet from 2006, it would be a metric fuckton easier for me to use.
