People prefer physical buttons, because primates evolved in the physical world with hardware to use other hardware for a reason :)
The receptors in our hardware can identify a hardware button without looking... especially while driving a 2 ton object trying not to hit anyone.
Getting his logic to the extreme, we won't have computer keyboards, just a glass slabs with picture of buttons. Ohh... shit, the war is lost, my phone is exactly that. In 5 years only super premium computer keyboards will have hardware keys I reckon.
For what I've read the problem aren't the buttons, but the cabling they really hate.
