You’re confusing different things. “Contact tracing” has nothing to do with touching things. It just means you had some kind of contact with someone who had covid. Not even physical touch, just being relatively close.
Covid does not spread well through surfaces. This created huge waste as people were trying to deep clean with isopropyl alcohol, resulting in isopropyl alcohol shortages and companies putting in more dangerous forms of alcohol in hand sanitizer. It was completely unnecessary.
Nothing open to the public should have a touch interface. Has Covid taught us nothing?
How are the buttons more hygienic?? A screen is much easier to clean or protect with plastic.
Covid doesn’t transmit on surfaces very well.
Other things do.
Then we didn’t learn it from covid.
A big thing with COVID was contact tracing. As in, knowing who and what you made contact with that could have been contaminated with your sick.
Surfaces were nontrivial in that whole context.
If you didn’t learn contact tracing during COVID, were you even in lockdown?

There’s also a QR code you can scan to control it via your phone. I’m sure no one has exploited that.
And at least your phone has (mostly) only your own fecal bacteria on the screen.
Speak for yourself.
I use my semi erect pinky to push it just to be safe.
I use the second knuckle of my middle finger.
I use my semi erect something else ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Hey fellow semi erect pinky pusher!
