Touch based art forms are everywhere, the question’s premise is wrong. Textiles and clothing and industrial and consumer product design around touch experience abound. Linens and car interiors and furniture and kitchen utensils and even all hand tools are all meant for touch and you can find high end artists focusing on the touch experience and selling expensive bespoke products. These are every bit as much art as perfumery and culinary arts. Kids museums and science museums have touch exhibits all the time, even art exhibits on occasion do too. The making of musical instruments is an art form dedicated to a product that is enjoyed and experienced by the player through touch as much as sound.
