my initial thought is that apple is preparing to launch physically deforming screens which will create bumps similar to this liquid.

I remember finding this super cool when it first came out:

I'm not sure I'd want that on my daily devices, however I would like this on my car heads-up unit where tactile feedback with actual buttons is preferred to keep the eyes on the road. At least that would be better than nothing.

I wouldn't want it on my daily devices either, but mainly because I prefer my touchscreens to be perfectly flat and durable glass.

Or using cameras to render what’s behind the phone as a background. That would help explain the continued focus on thinness.

The continued focus on thinness betrays a lack of useful ideas... a hallmark of the Jony Ive school of enshittification.

Then it would make no sense to simulate them.

Unless you want the same look on your non-tactile and tactile surfaces.
But I think the theory is too far-fetched.

Physically tactile would change my opinion about Liquid Glass. And it would make screens more usable for the visually impaired.
