Also you can't operate e.g. a dishwasher with kitchen gloves now, as those silly touchscreens won't cooperate. Few brands know how to keep it simple. Even Miele and Liebherr are falling into these absurd trends.
Can't believe that none of these designers thought that one might want to use a kitchen appliance with gloves on before slapping capacitive touch on everything...
It's market efficiency at work: appliances are well past the point of being good enough, they're now being optimized to the point of being as shit as they can be without becoming unsellable.
Capacitive touch buttons became cheaper than mechanical buttons. That's why they're suddenly on everything now.
