The point is design vs execution. Tesla's goal isn't to put critical controls and displays in an inconvenient or unsafe location; it's to make fewer controls and displays critical, so that drivers can focus on driving.

It's a valid criticism that their execution hasn't completely achieved the goal. But if you think the goal is wrong, then yeah, that's a great reason to avoid Teslas, because they're going to keep removing more and more controls and readouts as they automate them or make them irrelevant.
