Sorry, let me put it in simpler terms.

Multitouch is a different/simpler method of doing the same action (pinch to zoom is faster/simpler than pressing a button x number of times to find the perfect zoom factor).

You say there is no need for a different/simpler method.

The remote is a different/simpler method for changing channels on a TV.

So, by your views, there is no need for a different/simpler method for changing channels on a TV, i.e. a remote.

I support capacitive on the N900, but it would take too much effort and have very little pay-off in the end.
