My 2019 Kia seems to give the best of both worlds. I've got a small I think 10" display for reversing camera and Android Auto/Apple Carplay/radio and physical buttons and knobs for climate controls, volume, etc. the display is just big enough to be useful for maps, and Kia's UI for the screen on the display is really nice with almost entirely white on black so it's not distracting nor too bright at night and it really blends in when you aren't looking at it while being there and ready for you when you are

My 2014 GTI has a touchscreen but everything on the screen can be controlled with knobs and buttons, and all it does is music and navigation. Everything else is knobs.

No backup camera, though.
