Is CarPlay really that terrible? I don't have issues using Android Auto easily with my Mazda, it all takes a few very learnable clicks.

Yes, it's terrible, CarPlay was designed to with touch in mind. You spend more time looking at the screen to figure out where your "cursor" is. I found the Tesla touch screen to be much safer to use.
I have no issues with it in my Mazda3 on iOS, it’s all muscle memory, and Siri isn’t even that terrible once you learn the most effective commands.
I use carplay in my CX5 and have no issues (my cx5 does not have a touch screen at all, 2022)
