I enjoy being able to feel where the button is and is not without looking or guessing. It's such a huge thing that it's worth putting tape on my Framework touch pad just to make a tactile demarkation to seperate the left button area from the right button area from the I-wish-this-were-not-a-button area, and also make the button area no longer sensitive so it doesn't move the pointer or register 2 fingers when one is on the tape. (actually I mostly just never use that garbage Apple-wannabe touch pad when I can possibly avoid it)

I enjoy unambiguous clicking only when I intended and never when I didn't.

I enjoy being able to rest my palm and thumb on the table and front of the machine without either unintended clicks or unintended pointer movement.

I enjoy only having to move my finger a small distance instead of my whole hand and wrist, or even my entire arm.

I enjoy unambiguous and immediate single motion drag-while-click more than error-prone and multi-step tapping gestures.

Replacing buttons with gestures was never a usability upgrade, it was a cost and appearance (for certain pathological extremes of appearance) upgrade to replace hardware with software. All the added flexibility that software allows over hardware is still available with or without the buttons so that is not a gain.
