My physical calculator has something that no soft-calculator will ever have: tactile buttons and years' of muscle memory. Sure, I could put in the time to learn a soft calculator but the clunkiness of using the UI of something like Desmos (especially on a touch-screen) vs the dedicated physical buttons on my Casio make it very unappealing.It's a similar argument to the touch-screen vs. physical buttons debate in car dashboard design (but hopefully with fewer fatalities): A button I can feel (and that never gets moved around the interface overnight due to some cargo-culting UX dev) wins every time.
