There's only one button I press for my climate control, AUTO. Everything else is just a waste of space to me. Auto climate controls with some decent low-emissive tint on my cars have been fine for over 20 years, and I live in a place that gets snow and >100F temperatures over the course of the year, at somewhat low latitude for the US so I get lots of long sunny days.
I do agree with the idea that not everything should be behind a screen. There's one button I miss on my car with mostly just a touchscreen. My many-buttoned car has a button to engage the 360 cameras while at a low speed even in drive. That's so useful for parking rather than waiting until I get close to something for the car to automatically show it.
But even then, theoretically that could easily be achieved without me needing to press a button. I'd love for there to just be a toggle to say "if I'm creeping and the radar senses I'm probably in a parking lot or garage, engage the cameras". It wouldn't be that hard for the car to tell that I'm going slow in a narrow space with lots of probably-car-like-things on the sensors and cameras.
Oh my, I also have the same complaint regarding the 360 camera. The 360 camera can be selected in the infotainment but navigating to it takes 2-3 steps which isn't great.
However, I have figured out that I can turn on the turn signal and the 360 cam will turn on and stay on after the turn signal is off.
