The reason QC has improved on the S and Y is that they've been in production since 2012 & 16 and the last update to any tech was in mid-2015.
I do agree that the screens and lack of physical buttons does allow tesla to upgrade functionality and user experience. However, I really like simple button controls for things like HVAC and wipers. Pretty annoying when you have to navigate menus while your driving for hvac which is the case now. Sure you get used to it, but still, nothing more simple than a button with tactile feedback.

I saw this and thought there was some notable improvement.

I too like the addition of physical buttons for simple car functions. A big reason why the i4 appeals to me. I hope BMW integrates OTA updates with the i4 when it becomes available.
I tend to like smaller cars. Something in the 175 inch length or less. Seems like most of the EV's are larger. My main around town car is a 2019 Mini S. Does everything I need it to do. Mini offers a EV, but it has minimal range. I'm hoping to see a LR compact "something" become available in the near future. So far the only manufacturer that has hinted at a compact is Tesla.
As an aside, I find it very difficult to find any information that is completely truthful and unbiased. This seems to apply to all media sources IMO. Pundits and journalists bring whatever biases they have to their reports and stories and slant their articles to support their personal views (sadly, this isn't by accident). A shame since it makes a person wanting the real story on anything harder and harder to get.
We certainly live in interesting times (for better or worse).................
