Minimalist design removes physical buttons in favor of touch screens. Then down the road "premium" versions of the device are sold with physical buttons as a premium feature.

Two examples are the more expensive Kindle having its page turn buttons and the new iPhone having a special button. I'm sure there are other examples. It won't be too long until a headphone jack is a premium feature.

Touchscreens in cars are cancer.

I can click a knob in the dark without taking my eyes off the road.

There’s no tactile feedback to know what I clicked on a screen two pages deep when I need to turn on the defroster.

Touchscreen home thermostats. Because adding two buttons wasn't aesthetically-pleasing.
