While I don’t doubt the review, and I’m well aware that standard resistive touchscreens are worse than standard capacitive touchscreens, I also would say that the best available resistive touch screens are pressure sensitive (enabling different levels of touch force to have different effects, for example) and can actually outperform capacitive touch.
In addition, requiring a minimum force level to register prevents accidental touches. If I know my car’s system really well, I could start my finger in a corner and move it to a desired location to press without looking - harder to do that with capacitive touch.
