I haven't driven an Ioniq yet but it sounds like they too may have taken a turn down the wrong path. I regularly drive a fairly new Elantra where all the essential driving controls are still physical with tactile feedback. My favorite is the environmental control. A single, big easy to find knob to adjust the temperature without your eyes leaving the road. Turn left (counter-clockwise) for colder, right for hotter. The car takes it from there and selects heat or a/c as needed with an appropriate fan speed. You can still adjust manually but I rarely do so.
