We get it: lack of buttons suck, fingerprints, etc. I'd venture to say ID8 with voice commands will be a huge step up, software-wise (neglecting anything related to hardware). Not sure how long ID7 will get updates when ID8 becomes all you can get.
Well, although not iDrive8, I'm also somewhat basing my criticism on the system in my Jeep which also got rid of a lot of the buttons forcing me to go into the menus for things like seat and steering wheel heat and other climate control options. Hey BMW would have to get A LOT faster than it is in 7 which although not necessarily slow is a far cry from the instant gratification of a button press.
