No it’s not terribly stupid. Handicapped people already use other controllers without any issues.
A steering wheel is already electronically adjusted for speed. The servo will work just as well regardless of the controller device.
Along with lane assistance and other “self driving cars” it should be pretty evident that there is nothing dangerous about giving up the physical turny wheely kindergarten toy controller.

Some vehicles use steering by wire, which uses motors for i/o. This allows for steering sensitivity adjustments based on speed or wven preference.

True, but sensitivity is only half the story - the direct feedback of a wheel cannot be overstated

You’re right, but that should be part of the system.
There is virtually no noticeable lag.
The same technology is used by F1 vehicles, for example.

Not lag, physical pushback from the wheels
