His experience may have been with older cars or lower end models. The very first factory navs used monochrome LCD's in the mid 90's or so, but MB for example dropped them 10 years ago or so.
As for the lack of touchscreens in the A8, S-Class and 7-series, they have a different philosophy. Touchscreens provide no tactile feedback, so they're harder to operate without looking at them and they're impossible to keep clean.
