They took a simple device, that was easy to make, and every china basement factory could make, and made it needlessly complicated.
Now we have a chip shortage, and not even a radio with volume control can be made without a chip that is backordered for 1y+
Still unfortunately more expensive buying the component than just putting the dial on a touchscreen.
Even if it's objectively worse in absolutely every possible dimension you could ever grade it on.
