I'd like to add lack of tactile physical controls to the list.

I've had three bad experiences in safety situations that would have been avoided with tactile physical controls.

And since then, my opinion has changed to that of certain controls that are required during operation of the vehicle should remain tactile.

Yeah, I am not a fan of the all touchscreen interfaces either. I am extremely glad that Hyundai/Kia hasn't fully gone that route in their ICE cars yet. My partner's 2022 Ram TRX has a giant touchscreen but still has a lot of physical knobs and buttons for control too.

I drove a Ford Mach-E over this past summer, and was disappointed that Ford went all touchscreen in that EV.
