Sounds like a trend.  Maybe there's a good reason.

Why?  Because it's an audio product, not some geek gadget that is cool
because you can fart to make it send an email to your Aunt Edna.  Leave
the geekiness out of it and just give it some basic ergonomics.

I'd never buy a preamp, for instance, that only used a remote control. 
Imagine not being able to walk over to your stereo and turn a knob or
press a button to turn the damned thing up or down.  That's the
Squeezebox.
