So, I'm agreeing with you...switches shouldn't be considered as "moving parts."
.. but switches can, and do, break or cease to function, as one did on my Nikon Coolpix 900 (or was it the 990?). Fortunately a little switch cleaner restored operation. I guess you would get a similar effect were the touch-sensitive coating to wear, and it would not be repairable, although I've not heard of that happening.
however, the issue was data loss in storage devices, not camera failures.
Need to consider these things when buying a new camera.there's no way to know if something will have a premature failure unless you buy it long after such a failure would occur.
in the 990 case, the command dial failure began to occur several years after the product was new.
