I think most will feel how you are.
I was an iDrive embracer from day 1 back in 2001/2002. It has always come natural to me. So when BMW added the touch screen ability, I did not use it. My first use of CarPlay was with the iDrive controller. But I mainly don't use the touch screen because I hate fingerprints.
I know that even having said that, if my build had Touchscreen removed, it would just bother me knowing it should have been there (used or not).
