Leaving aside the question of whether touchscreens make sense inside a car at all, I’m not sure how a control to open the glove box which is not situated on the actual glove box help? I mean, you probably opened the glove box to put something in or take something out. Once it is open, you would almost certainly physically reach inside it.

You can lock the glovebox with a pin

That doesn't mean you can't put a touch button on the actual glovebox.

Use the UI (with a pin) to lock the glovebox so that it doesn't open when the glovebox button is touched, use the UI (with the same pin) to reverse that at a later stage.

Putting the button anywhere but on the glovebox makes non-fanboys seriously question the suitability of the car as a convenience.
