Tried it, but the knobs are right there so usually just reach for them. That's one aspect I guess is more "knob friendly" for me.

Except when the encoder 1,2,5 steps aren't a good fit for the waveform/display.
Then pinch/zoom for both vertical and horizontal is the best solution.

I'd expect that when arbitraty t/div v/div settings are supported through the touchscreen, these are also supported through the knobs (if present).

Fine > twist. Done.
I do use touch, but it does just seem that for this specific purpose I get along better with the knobs.
I should mention that my "touch" is atypical. It's okay for pecking at things, but for sweeps and other motions, I (naturally) suck. Using a touchpad on a laptop is almost a soul destroying experience for me. I have no idea what the problem is. When I buy a laptop I have to either carry a mouse or fork over the XXX$$$ dinero for a pro-level Lenovo. I usually do both. Sad thing is Lenovo seem to be moving away from their awesome trackpoint. My last one was a T480 and it's starting to show it's age.

Fine V/div is std on most scopes of all ages however variable s/div is uncommon these days.
Touch pinch/zoom provides that.

The manual says: "Method 2: Time Base Knob
Tap to open the time base list (see Figure 4-4 Horizontal Time Base List), then tap the list to select the
appropriate time base. The time base with the blue filled background is the currently selected time base."
There's nothing there about being able to slide your finger around the list and there's probably people who haven't found it:
nb. I'm not saying it's a substitute for the knob, only that touchscreen-only Micsig owners aren't forced to sit there hitting the timebase buttons dozens of times every time they want to change the horizontal scale.
People with knobs get to choose. :)
