Settings interface ruined in 12 update

The settings interface was destroyed by the Android 12 update. Instead of one swipe and one touch toggle for turning wifi, data or Bluetooth making it quick and safe to do at a red light or stop sign, the interface takes two swipes to reach, then touch, then a SLIDE BUTTON! Who thought this was a good idea? What have you done to drivers, to the visually impaired, and to the just plain impatient types? Why, Google, why?
 
What phone do you have? I can turn on these things with one swipe and one touch (same for 11, 12, 13), but these things do depend on the manufacturer. I think Pixels have an extra step for WiFi/Data because they have these behind a generic "internet" button on the notification slide, but I thought BT was still just a simple (and large) toggle button.

Anyway why the heck are you fiddling with these things when driving (even when stopped)? Most people will just leave them on anyway, so I suspect the impact on most users is less than you think.

Incidentally, since you are new here:
1) welcome to the forum! :)
2) just in case you don't know, this is a forum for android users, it's not run by or affiliated to Google. So you can ask questions or just vent about frustrations here, but Google won't take any notice (though to be fair there's no evidence that they take any notice when people contact them directly either ;)).
