My excuse is that it feels nice to press. Simple as that.

I miss tactile keyboards and button on smart devices in general. I enjoyed using them a lot more back in the dumbphone days. Even one of my synths (Yamaha Reface DX) has a uselessly touch-based workflow that steers people away from it, even though it's an amazing synthesizer.

I understand why we made the leap to lose physical keyboards though, don't get me wrong.

As for your Touch ID point - yep, same!

Don’t get me wrong you don’t “need an excuse” to prefer one thing over another, just as I don’t need to apologise for not liking it you don’t need to apologise for liking it. Indeed, at least until very recently, I think you’d be considered in the main. Personally I grew up in awe of entirely software-defined interfaces (mainly due to the Star Trek LCARS touch-interface specifically designed to look as if it were a very simple manner of controlling very complex processes) and that will probably stick with me my whole life. Keys and buttons are just cool to me in a retrofuturistic/Blade Runner kind of way.
