I wasn’t trying to paint a broad picture because as you suggest, it’s subjective. But there is some evidence that I’m not alone.

I agree, the cockpit design on the Tesla is not my choice and may actually be a deal breaker. But since there is a 30 day no commitment period I’m willing to give it a shot and see how it works in actual use.

Oh, absolutely - as I said, I'm in a minority.

But I feel a lot of it is: Sexiness of how it looks vs Practicality of usage

The problem is, sexiness is immediately obvious & attractive. Practicality takes a long time and active observation to notice and appreciate. I fear that touchscreens with bad UI will win; though I hope eventually there may be some backlash from consumers - or at least thought and compromise from manufacturers. :-/
