What happens during turbulence when you can't accurately touch a specific point on the screen? It doesn't take much turbulence, either, as I cannot reliably use the GPS on my phone, while driving, when it's in its (very stable) mount, and I'm on an average paved road.

Touch screen looks awesome on Star Trek, but in actual use it's an inaccurate, attention-magnet, nightmare.

Which control do you exactly need to adjust in the middle of a turbulence?
Most of them, as you find turbulence in all fases during the flight.
Roll? Pitch? Yaw? Engine RPM? Prop pitch?

Those are “most” of the controls... none of which require touchscreens.

What controls are you referring to specifically?
