This is a great example of when "perfect is the enemy of good".
Humans have pretty good spatial reasoning (proprioception); the notion that touch controls should replace tactile well-spaced controls is dependent on the fact that both senses (sight, spatial awareness) are uncontested.
I would argue the point that sight is already in-use and must not be interfered with, if there's an alternative that does not use the same resources.
I think of it like hardware acceleration and parrelelisation; the brain has a hardware accelerator for sight, but only one, and has a bunch of cores ready for other tasks, and those other tasks can happen in parallel.
