This Fractal VP4 vs Strymon etc

Why Fractal has a hard on for touch screens is really bizarre. They would easily double or triple their sales by finally adding that ability to their processors/modelers and making these units accessible to the next generation of musicians that weren't around when the first Axe FX dropped.
The fact they didn't opt for that in this latest iteration is why I'm sticking with pedals for the forseable future.

They simply don't have the software ready for that. The VP4 and AM4 are derivative products using a lot of the existing stuff from their past products.

We will likely see touchscreens on their next gen products but those might be still 1-2 years away.
