Which is just pure BS. There's a good reason Apple has never had more than a small fraction of the computer market: its OS has always (well, since the first Mac) been difficult & unpleasant to use - unless you really, really enjoy making your new Mac say "Yabba dabba doo!" every few minutes. (First and last Mac user in an engineering department I once worked in.)
There are also a number of people - I'm one - for whom touch screens simply don't work reliably. Anyone with an artificial hand is obvious, but some of us just have different skin capacitance or something. So if I try to use a tablet, say, there will be times when it does not respond at all, other times when one touch activates multiple functions. Imagine that happening as you're driving down a winding mountain road. Or your dog sticking his nose on the screen...
There's a reason most car (and airplane) controls & gauges have evolved to work certain ways, and have built-in touch/force feedback. For one, you don't have to take your eyes off the road to use them, or to see important information.
