Great points, it just occurred to me that I’m biased towards high level applications! HCI equally applies to our appliances, factories, and vehicles to name a few, and I absolutely agree that physical affordances are not quite as outmoded as Musk might say they are. Fun fact that we don’t talk about enough: I’m not sure if it’s still happening, but at some point, the controls in the spaceX shuttles were touchscreens running javascript. It brings me joy (and obviously fear!) to imagine an npm node_modules directory makings it to space… I think the consensus is spot on that there can absolutely be too many touchscreens. More fundamentally your answer doesn’t really speak to what I was thinking of, though: general computing. Buttons and switches are great for purpose-built machines, but the applicability to general computing is minimal. How could one possibly fundamentally expound upon the keyboard or mouse?
