I don't think it's that simple. - Ford's early (and I think current) touchscreen interfaces were pretty unintuitive and they were one of the few manufacturers in the US doing touch interfaces. - Tesla has probably put a lot more into the UX of touch screen interaction (albeit completely ignoring the fact that touchscreens aren't great while driving). - Now touchscreens are so normalized in new car sales that they're just accepted as a part of a new mid-top trim car, so the question of "should this really have a touchscreen?" is out of most buyers' minds. There are exceptions to the "more touchscreen" trends with Mazda[1] recently dropping touchscreens in their new cars and Honda[2] following suit with some models. And in the Hondas that still have touchscreens, I believe most/all 2019+ models had at least knobs to operate radio volume and AC while looking at the road.
