I like having a tactile home button.

I love TouchID and can’t stand FaceID. But the home button is terrible. It’s just too hard to be used comfortable, and I end up hang that floating software button instead.
The iPhone hasn’t had a “real” home button since the iPhone 7 in 2016. It’s a static touch pad with haptic feedback.
Haptic feedback is tactile.
Not very. Try touch typing on a touchscreen keyboard with haptic feedback
Haptic and tactile mean related to touch.
I happen to still use an iPhone from 2016 as my daily driver.
