Save? Where are you getting this idea from? Move from buttons to touchscreen raised the price because touchscreens are expensive. Return to buttons will raise the price once again because buttons are extra parts.



The touch screen is there for other reasons (setup, navigation, ...) anyways and won't go away.

(Not) Having physical buttons then is a cost factor.


A switch requires a physical and tangible thing to be produced. A touchscreen button is done in software and costs nothing extra to produce. You already know this I'm sure.

Price is different from cost
