Pay attention... people tell you all the time you just don't accept the reasons.

My main objection is of the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" variety. Touch just offers me nothing I need while adding bloat to the kernel and the OS (not to mention another potential point of failure).

Plus I love and regularly use the built-in keyboard for taking notes while proofing text. There is no need to call up an onscreen "touch" keyboard that will obscure a large portion of the text on the screen... you just start typing on the physical keyboard, then keep on reading.

And certainly not for lack of trying, touch screen navigation has just never come naturally or easily for me, so I prefer my devices to NOT have it (or at the very least offer me a hard-key alternative to every single "touch" function).

There. There's three reasons... without even mentioning fingerprints.
