I don't see the problem here. It's a player with a display which happens to double as a local (as opposed to remote) control. Convenient when you're up close without detracting from the usability when you're not. I'm just guessing here, but I expect that today a touch screen could often be a cheaper alternative than controls of a more mechanical fashion. Continuing to guess since I haven't used a Touch; local control might not seem all that necessary, but given that there is no web interface to the server, having some other way than the remote to configure and maintain the server makes good sense. So, even if some users might not use the touchscreen on a daily basis it probably doesn't add much or anything to the price, doesn't get in the way when it's not used and let's face it, most of our gadgets have functions we rarely or never use.
