In my experience, you rarely have to reorient on the slider, because touch-and-drag is a valid gesture on the volume and brightness sliders. i.e., you don't have to tap, find slider, touch-and-drag, you can just directly touch-and-drag the button. Doesn't work for very large changes due to where the buttons are, but it hits 90% of my use cases in a cleaner way than the old buttons did. I do have to flick my eyes down to find the button, but it doesn't bother me---fully understand it might bother others, though.
