Size and easy to clean (and waterproof) is one, I have a ChefSteps Joule which is app control only, but it is much easier to clean, and much smaller than my old Anova (fits in a drawer with other crap)

Granted it is more annoying to use the app than the controls, but the trade off for us was worth it, if not for everyone.

They could just use capacitive touch for controls, inferior to buttons but just as cleanable. There’s little reason to not have both options

Capacitive touch controls around anything with the potential to generate steam or condensation is an awful idea. At best they just don’t work with damp fingers, at worst the buttons short or randomly activate because of the water that builds up.
