The title here could be improved by a reference to "3D printer".

This is a good choice. Displays on 3D printers are a matter of choice. Some people love touch screens. Others (myself included) detest them. This is a printer meant to run Klipper, so one could operate the printer for its useful life and never even use the screen.

Using a very cheap and functional display allows the manufacturer to say it has a screen without forcing those who don't want a touch screen to pay for one. Sovol offers a screen upgrade for those that want it.

The same is true of the hot end and the extruder. There are lots of opinions about what the "best" parts are, so just spec out cheap ones and let individual users swap them out for fancy, expensive parts.
