everything else reliant on it cruise control, lane assist,

That's stuff's on buttons in many, many cars.

back up cams are all either unnecessary

They really aren't. With thicker pillars (for better safety, but also sometimes for design purposes) the more cameras you have - the better.

You can still buy incredibly simple cars, just look at PSA, Dacia/Renault basic models or Fiats that have been in production for years. Hell, Mitsubishi ASX turns 15 and all they did was stick a big screen for a radio. Suzuki S-cross imo is the sweet spot, a small screen for 2 functions (radio/phone audio, camera) and physical controls for the rest.

Or just don't buy new cars. I think you'd like VW Up, big selling point of it was the lack of a navigation system because they get outdated so quickly, so instead there's just a nav holder.
