I can't think of a single action that is easier to do with a finger on a touch screen than a tactile, single-purpose control, even without having to pay attention to something else while you do it.
but technically you expend 0.5 more kcal moving the lever and only 0.1 kcal pressing the touch screen. this is more efficient and also the dead americans caused by this will reduce carbon output
