Oh I didn't even think to check if it was configurable. Thanks. Now reverted.

They're still refusing to give up on it - in the latest software update, long pressing the power key now launches bixby ffs. You now have to hold power+vol_down to get the reboot/power off menu.
I have an irrigation valve that turns the water on and off for the garden. It talks to the app via Bluetooth, and I've found that my phone has to be at least 3m away from it or it won't connect. Any closer and the signal must overload it to the point where it can't interpret it. The first one I bought, I took back to the store and swapped it for another before I figured out what the problem was.
I'm sure it's a bad design on the valve's Bluetooth implementation, but nevertheless, it exists.
The difference for me is that my phone is sitting in a holder stuck to the windscreen and looking at it means I'm only slightly looking away from the road, so I will still see movement in my peripheral vision.
By contrast, a large touchscreen in the middle of the dash necessarily means taking my eyes entirely off the road and probably also adjusting to the brightness of the display.
Neither are great, but one is worse than the other
Baldric's got a bump that looks just like a turnip
My (work) Dell laptop charges from the usb-c dock, which it's always plugged into because so are my monitors and ethernet etc. As a result, it's always on charge.
Can be, but isn't necessarily.
