Touch screens are basically buttons.

Touch screens are basically buttons. Maybe they just need physical buttons to get to the essential parts on the touch screen. My car the buttons are on a touch screen panel already.

Screens are not basically buttons. I cannot reach at the screen without looking and find a toggle and know that I pressed it successfully.

Yes you can, you could have it announce or provide auditory feedback. You could have a mounted remote with physical buttons if that is what you need. Wait until one of your integrated buttons fails and then you find out it will cost $1k to replace it.

go to your home screen, close your eyes, and then open your lemmy app without looking

you can absolutely not get feedback from a touch screen about which control you’re groping around blind for: this leads to people looking at the screen while hunting and pecking for buttons

you can absolutely not get feedback from a touch screen about which control you’re groping around blind for: this leads to people looking at the screen while hunting and pecking for buttons, and that’s incredibly dangerous

Go tell that to a blind person. I'm actually surprised you've never heard about this.
