If you had qualified either of those points as pertaining to YOU rather than to ME you may have had a chance of being at least partially correct.

Maybe our fingers have more oil than yours, or maybe I just notice finger prints more than you.

From an ergonomics standpoint, it would be hard to convince me that having to move your thumb in the way of the page area and out again every page turn could be more ergonomic then keeping it one place and slightly rocking it. Maybe some prefer it, but it seems like an RSI waiting to happen. I certainly don't prefer it.
Which Sony do you have? Anything before the x50 series doesn't really count in this case.

And keeping your thumb in one place pushing the same button won't maybe cause RSI? It's like getting RI from using a mouse.

As for the finger prints, you'd hate anything with an LCD screen as you'd be really bothered by the fingerprints there since the hardly seen fingerprints on a Pearl screen are a real bother.
