Touch keyboards are quite good? I don't see what's even surprising about this. Yes, "tapping on an icon" is faster when the icon exists, but Android/iOS does not favor doing things nearly as powerful as a full Unix. Dumb example: file transfer. I have photos on my phone and don't want to go through a cloud service just to get them onto my laptop. I have yet to find an app that even comes close to rsync over SSH. Could that app exist? Sure. But until somebody writes it I'm going to keep using the last 20 years worth of good tools.
