This sounds like the car industry touch screen craze all over again.

Good design rarely calls for a “you can do everything” approach. Good design is often context specific and subtly guides users to better outcomes.

Doctor appointments would absolutely suck if I had to navigate decision trees and click buttons to communicate my symptoms. Car blinkers would absolutely suck if I had to type “blink left” into a chat window before every turn.

Oh is that the new UI of Mercedes and BMW cars? Cause they always seem to have dysfunctional blinkers.
