If you've had cars with the window switches located there before it seems perfectly normal. If you haven't, you get used to it soon. Not a problem at all really

This is for safety reasons. Small children are less likely to activate the switch while standing on the seats near the door. IIRC, some car makers got sued by someone whose child died stepping on an old style switch. The window came up and choked the child.

So, it was for saety reasons and now they are going to make the car "unsafe"?
