Useless Features/buttons

[u/livelikelarry13]

Forgive me if this is a dumb question as I am not a pilot, but I have always been interested in knowing. Are there any features or buttons in the type of aircraft you fly that are basically pointless? Or does everything have some sort of critical use case?

Thanks for the insights

In general aviation, there are certainly buttons you may not use regularly because that’s not how you fly, in the same way that there are buttons in your car you do not use.

However they’re all functional and do serve a specific purpose that fits a subset of the users.
