I agree. The touch screens on the two Yaesu HTs are nothing to write home about.IMO touch screens can be a blessing and curse at the same time. It can make a radio front panel cleaner with less buttons, but then the on-screen buttons will be small and less than ideal tactile feedback IMO. And the screen is a fingerprint magnet.
If done well a touch screen could be OK, but I think the physical size limitation of an HT means physical button bank is typically better.
