If you look at microwaves, you will note that they were getting so complex that you damn near needed an APL programming manual to heat up a bowl of soup.
They learned their lesson and now are a lot easier to use.
Vehicle integrated everything centers OTOH have become so difficult you would think they were tied into NORAD. Up until not too long ago I rented cars weekly. All I want to do is listen to AM radio. More than a few times I had to go to the booth and ask “how in the heck do I freakin TURN ON THE G-D RADIO??”
Even the owner’s manual (if present) doesn’t usually say. The nav-center takes up about a third of a 1/2” manual!
I hate to drive in silence and I don’t care for music when I drive so I need AM radio to listen to people talk. I usually can find a conservative talk station somewhere pretty quickly. IF I CAN TURN IT ON.
I now use a hotspot, hand me down now wifi only smart phone, and bluetooth speaker as my universal car radio. No need to change stations no matter how many miles are covered - except for a few places without phone network coverage (US 191 and US 212, I’m talkin’ ‘bout YOU!).
