To an extent.

Entrenched usage patterns sometimes deserve to be broken, bringing in a new method of operation facilitated by new tech can be a game changer.

I’m not in a position to say if this is the case here though, but for one example, a Tesla’s ability to cancel indicators once it’s seen you’ve completed a lane change operation seems to be a step forward. So at least they’re thinking of new methods of operation.

Change is uncomfortable, everyone will be somewhere on the curve, depending on where you are, you might love it or hate it.

That already exists. It's called "tap to pass." Tap down the left stalk but don't let it indent, and then it'll flash three to five times (depending on manufacturer) before resetting. Even then most modern steering wheels have speed sensitive systems that let you just bip the wheel right or left to turn off the turn signal at highway speeds without a full quarter rotation of the wheel.
