Bro obviously they’re lauding physical mechanical buttons, not condemning useful features. Every single thing you listed can be controlled with manual tactile buttons. The issue that people have is with needless touchscreens and unnecessary digital interfaces.

And so much more…
I swear the Luddite whining about car tech never ends…

Split zones aren’t real, thermostats in cars do not work. Heated seats are nice.

Split zones are completely real as are the thermostats…

It’s not the actual tech, generally speaking, that people are upset about. Although your Luddite reference is probably more accurate than you intended.
The Luddites weren’t anti-tech, they were anti- the damage it was doing to the people who did the work.
Most people who hate these new technologies aren’t mad at the tech itself, they’re mad at the quality that’s produced when the only concern is lowering costs and the extractive infrastructure built around it. A monthly fucking subscription for heated seats. This exists now.
The alternative to this is the galaxy brained take: “THESE PEOPLE HATE HAVING A COMFORTABLE ASS WHILE DRIVING”

Your being way too generous…
The people that are upset about this are just whining for fake internet points…

Heated and cooling seats…“I sit on a small ice bag”
Split zones “all car interiors are too small to have a significant difference”
Heated steering wheels - “I wear gloves on cold days”

… I don’t think those describe those functions very well.
In cars climate control doesn’t work like in a house, where you heat or cool the whole object, it relies on airflow, so ofc you can set significant difference in temperature between zones.
No car AC will overpower the greenhouse effect on a sunny day, it will just just cool the passengers via airflow.

All of that stuff is great.
Just don’t make me use a touch screen while I’m driving.
