To be honest, it IS somewhat useful in games, though, when your device has no proper button input for them (e.g. joystick/DPAD/trackpad and such). and cases when you're not really looking at the screen (e.g. when used as a remote controller/instrument/whatnot), but those are not exactly the most common use-cases. Apple (and people/entities like engadget) really does play out that one pony trick to extremes, though...

Wanted to link a picture of a can to prove your point but the board curse filter mangled the link, so no disturbing images in this post
