This makes tons of sense, especially in these early days of self-driving vehicles. There are of course enthusiasts who will want nothing to do with self-driving until the very end when their manual gearboxes are ripped from their cold, dead hands, who would honestly prefer precisely zero touch screens in their current and future vehicles (I consider myself part of this group). We're a small minority though, and as evidenced by how many cars are still available in the US with even the option to row your own, I don't think it's going to stop any manufacturer from eliminating the possibility of manual control entirely within the next few decades.
