They could just use capacitive touch for controls, inferior to buttons but just as cleanable. There's little reason to not have both options

    Capacitive touch controls around anything with the potential to generate steam or condensation is an awful idea. At best they just don't work with damp fingers, at worst the buttons short or randomly activate because of the water that builds up.
