They probably figured they wanted that shape for maximum efficiency. However maybe that narrow shape forced them to go with the center driver and all the things the author dislikes. The logistics of just slapping a couple screens are much simpler than designing and manufacturing an interior with physical buttons. Also they'll surely plan to drop those mirrors anyway, and use the screens as mirrors (which solves his cleaning complain, cheaper truck, more efficient, etc).
