    my point was that has to be thought out ahead

    Of course it does. The entire vehicle does. They don’t just not make the entire vehicle because they have to think about it. They think very hard about these things.

    and cannot be modified afterwards in the same way touch screens can

    There’s no reason you should have to modify anything. It doesn’t matter how you modify touchscreen controls, they will always be inferior to physical buttons and dials.

    BoM complexity and cross commonality is a challenge in manufacturing.

    So make them all use the same controls? You don’t need different climate controls or shifter controls or wiper controls for different vehicles. Many OEMs have standard controls across their entire lineup already.
