@TechConnectify's term "user-hostile" is the perfect description for automakers doing dumb things like burying the odometer in a touchscreen menu -- and not a new phenomenon, like when Ford and various others moved the horn button to the end of the turn signal stalk in the 1970s. Sometimes "because we've always done it that way" is a perfectly reasonable explanation of why not to change a critical user function. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EhEWdBgZYo
