The problem with most of these soft-touch plastics is they are incompletely polymerized and will eventually disintegrate into a sticky mess you need to strip off to get to the hard plastic they are painted on. Silicone doesn't, but it's seldom used as a coating.
Is that really a problem, given the lifespan of a smartphone? I've only really noticed that to happen to decades-old objects.
