Yes, this is a great list and I hate getting in and out of electric vehicles, not to mention figuring the climate controls out of touchscreen-based vehicles. I think the question isn't so much why companies like Tesla deliberately make their cars inconvenient, it's why consumers allow themselves to think streamlined features are somehow better.

> why companies like Tesla deliberately make their cars inconvenient

My 2019 Model 3 has been the most convenient car I've driven by far. Other companies saw Tesla get away with it and tried to replicate it, but given they had basically zero software UX experience and vision (and still don't, on both), the result ranges from kinda usable to absolutely terrible, with most trending towards the latter.
