Don't try to assign any logic to those rules. That way lies madness.
It is the same reason why they can't give you a fix-it ticket (which can lead to impound/forfeiture) for a new truck because it violates local bumper and headlight height laws.
Anecdotal info; I have a friend who designs the "user interface and experience" or whatever they are now calling all those controls for Toyota. Everything he designs is pure touchscreen, and now moving to augmented reality and gestures. He is very arrogant about buyers not understanding aesthetic design, and what they say vs "really" want. This is also a person who has literally not driven a car since ~2010, designing the controls. It blows my mind how he even has this job, but I guess that aligns with the future of cars, like phones, as pieces of tech that happen to transport you somewhere.

I'd say that UI/UX designers are the interior decorators of the software world, but even interior decorators with their love of anti-functional sinks and dangerously sharp furniture wouldn't get away with the indistinguishable-from-malice bullE36 M3 UI/UX designers do...
