Ah Gotchya. I recently heard non physical buttons are cheaper to produce so companies prefer them. Not sure on the validity of that

non physical buttons are cheaper to produce

evidently, things that don't physically exist are easier to produce, yes

I just figured it’s weird that making a much larger touch screen is cheaper. I never really thought about it much before someone mentioned it. I do miss physical buttons on certain things, specially touch screens do not belong in cars (imho)

It was a joke. I don't think it's cheaper in the abstract, but largely due to the fact that these screens are all made in the same handful of factories in China (and I guess that one in Korea where Samsung makes their stuff).

Oh sorry I missed the joke! Can’t say I know too much about tech manufacturing but would imagine there’s a monopoly on screens
