On the internet forums for enthusiasts, I bet. In real life, I agree, I haven’t noticed even a single blip of a trend for that phenomenon.
That part also got my attention. On which alternative universe do these guys live in? We have even come to the point of having no buttons on the front part of a phone (e.g. OnePlus 7 Pro), let alone going back to more buttons.
I am also pro physical buttons in cars, but that argument simply doesn't hold.
