I've put together a number of Raspberry Pi devices, and for my use at least, I prefer players with no screen and as few flashing lights as possible. I control my players via Material on a laptop, a tablet or a phone. Usually I have my MacBook open and running so in many ways it's more convenient than walking across the room to the SBT or a Raspberry Pi device.
In my office, which I've not worked in for nearly a year now, I have a Raspberry Pi with dac and amplifier cards, and which has a 7" touch screen pretty much for the reasons Michael gives in the post above. My partner seems happy using either the SBT screen or Material on an iPad to navigate the library, choose radio stations and so forth.
