I actually like and use the camera button, but maybe I’m in the minority.

    No, I’m with you. I was just using it yesterday to take quick pictures of my son at the zoo while holding a drink in my other hand. The need to go from pocket to snapping perfectly zoomed pictures all with one hand quickly before the animals moved meant that without this button I wouldn’t have gotten half the shots I did.

    I really like having a quick and tactile way to get the camera up and taking pictures. I had android phones back in the day that did this with a combination of the power button double tap to launch and volume buttons to snap pictures, the latter I know iOS does as well.

    I do find the swipe and soft touch features of the camera control to be unintuitive. It took me a while to even realize I could change the swipe gesture to control zoom instead of the default color/tone setting which I almost never want to change. Seriously don’t understand why zoom wasn’t the default.
