My wife's '22 Atlas has buttons/knobs for at least the major HVAC stuff-temperature, fan, defrost. seat heaters. etc. IIRC, you can dig into the touchscreen to really dial in some zones of the climate control or to do something like adjust the backseat zone from up front(independently of just syncing it to the rest of the car), but just for the every day I'm hot/I'm cold/the windows are fogging up adjustments, the knobs cover it.
I'm guessing newer ones have gone away from this set up? IMO what hers has really does a nice job using physical buttons/knobs for the things you are likely to need or want to access frequently, especially while driving, along with letting you do more advanced things from the touch screen.
The 2018 Compass she traded in for the Atlas I thought did a good job of mixing buttons/knobs and the touch screen as well, although 2018 is also ancient as car design goes.
