So if I'm on the go, and I want to play a sort of game that benefits from buttons...?

Correct. It exists insofar as there are many genres that require physical buttons or special control devices to reasonably play. I would say that most genres are best played without touchscreens. The only genres I can think of where touchscreens might be the best input devices are turn based strategy, and certain puzzle games. There are many in which it would work decently, but not optimally, such as JRPG, SIM, Adventure, rhythm action etc.

It should be plainly obvious that buttons are far more versatile and have greater utility than touch screens when it comes to game input.

It's not obvious and it sounds backwards.
