BS. Do you think for a second some Tesla engineer or Elon Musk himself could design the most important control panel on a spaceship to look pretty without the support of the people who have to use it? If the astronauts or NASA engineers weren’t ok with it, it wouldn’t be there.
Reading between the lines, I have a hunch the astronauts have mixed feelings about it ("this is certainly different") but ultimately accept it as adequate for the job. You are correct there were a lot of iterations involving the engineers and the pilots to arrive at the final result.
