Afaik Honda explicitly sided with the knobs crowd — though apparently after having flirted with the touchscreens, so presumably some of their cars do have them.
Obviously but I find it hard to believe a manufacturer would waste their time with that in 2018, but it does appear to be the case on LX and lower trims. They just get a 5" display.
I must have made it just under the wire
My 2018 Honda Civic doesn’t have a touchscreen, all knobs and buttons, and the only safety features are things like airbags/traction control/ABS

What does the backup camera use for a screen?
You can still have a screen without it being a touchscreen.

It runs a tiny RTOS called eCos. Just does backup cam, AM/FM, Bluetooth, and USB sticks (as long as the media is WAV or MP3)
My only complaint is that it sorts media files on USB sticks by timestamp rather than alphabetically
My lexus uses a small screen built into the rearview mirror for the backup cam. Car was designed by people who can do math in their heads.
I also liked a friends Toyota that had screens on the pillar near the side mirrors, that showed that side when you click on your blinker
