FWIW, I hate touch screens. I’ve used touch screen keyboards and they REALLY suck. You need tactile feedback to know you hit the right key. Heck, look at the push buttons on the Apollo spacecraft. All of the buttons are in a little hole so it’s very difficult to hit the wrong one.
Touch screens are nice for some things, but are a real pain for others.
And one of the biggest pains is when they don’t respond.
There’s a reason modern airliners still have physical throttles.
It’s important to know, for certain, what throttle and brake input is being provided to a vehicle, and the ability to control that input without having to look at a screen.
