For some people there is nothing annoying about eating a bowl fried rice with chopsticks. Others use a spoon.
I used to own a Agilent/Keysight scope that operated the menus in a similar fashion. Even though it was a way more high-end scope it got replaced as my daily driver by a GW Instek because the GW instek simply is way more convenient to use. And I still have and use that GW Instek scope. The Agilent / Keysight scope is long gone OTOH.

33 seconds, to be exact.
I can do it in about 4 seconds on my Micsig.

I guess the slight overshoot when you were switching channels with the twisty knob didn't count as 'annoying', right? :)

There are a lot more items on that screen than there would possibly be room for with buttons. I can tell you from experience that once you spend 5 minutes figuring it out, the Siglent measurement menu experience is only ruined by the awful push-button combination knob.

At least we agree on that.
I wouldn't ever go back to a twisty knob interface after owning a touch-screen.

The Rigol switches horizontal/vertical measurements with the button at the top then pages up/down to find the ones you want. Also not perfect but at least you get pictures and don't have to use the twisty knob along with all the overshoots and bad presses that involves.
