I think that’s actually common for induction cooktops of many brands. I believe the reason is so to keep the surface a single flat sheet of glass. They’re incredibly easy to clean compared to any other kind of cooktop. But I agree, not so great to use. On my last one if any water spilled on the capacitive area (eg because of boil over) it would “panic” and completely switch off. I still love induction and I would rather have it with capacitive buttons than any other kind of cooktop, and I have a high-end gas one.
