Moving parts cost money and wear out.
And if there's one thing the auto manufacturers are good at, it's cutting costs.
Maybe they could remove the engine and gearbox with all their moving parts...
Touch screens break and wear too, and it's more expensive to replace a touch screen than an AC fan knob.
Unless it happens during warranty, that costs money to the user not the manufacturer.
