And what's even more annoying is that you simply cannot get a decent double DIN headunit with wireless apple carplay/android auto that also has a physical volume knob.

Just why ?
That is one of the reasons I’m considering the Porsche Classic double DIN. Physical buttons and knobs. No back up camera though

Yeah it's the girlfriends daily.
So as much as I hate the lack of a physical volume knob the other conveniences won out.

Honestly. Physical volume control is why I first looked at the free floating screens.
But they're simply too big.

Yeah, volume knob is going to win out over wireless carplay for me. Sony has an affordable one with a front USB port. I've considered the Porsche one as well even at 4 times the price. The lack of a backup camera doesn't really bother me given that I hardly ever drive with the top up anyway.
