I think it's potentially attractive to manufacturers because they don't have to worry about individual buttons breaking, having to replace them, etc.

And they can change layouts and things like that quickly with a software upgrade; they aren't married to certain components and layouts forever.

However I still prefer hardware buttons in many cases :)
