Do you get it now? Taking your hands off the steering wheel involves more steps compared to this.
Taking your hands off the steering wheel has never been a problem. Taking your eyes off the road is.
That being said, if you want to set a certain temperature with analog controls, you still need to look at the number (showing the degrees). Still, in other cars you can see that number all the time, you don't have to go into some menu. There is a dedicated physical button for that one function.
I made that video because this keeps coming up, I know how it works...

I don't have to look to use the scroll wheel controls too. Did you not see on the video that they are physical buttons? What's your point exactly?
Oh well. The way that sticker prices keep going up on new pickup trucks, frankensteining old ones together and rebuilding the engines and transmissions is looking like more and more of a viable and cost-effective option.
