Agreed. I don't mind having a large infotainment screen but I'd much rather have mechanical instruments and actual buttons for the essential controls like HVAC and volume.
Sounds like we'll both be happy driving our automotive dinosaurs for a while 
At least give us analog inputs for for the most frequently used functions, even if those are displayed on a screen. Dealing with multiple menus just to turn on heated seats is just every kind of wrong.
Most of the screen-intensive cars have physical buttons for front defrost, rear defroster and radio volume / on-off. I have this exact dash this week in the i4 M50 presser. You spend tons of time sorting out all of your preferences at first, put up "widgets" to the main screen then barely ever use the thing after. After 24 hrs not crazy about it, too many graphics and not enough actual info. The Polestar 2 I had last week was a model of all-screen simplicity.
