I was around (and pretty young) when the high/low beam switch moved from the floor to the column. I can't tell you the number of times I pushed my foot down on the floor to switch my high beams down. I don't do it any more.
These changes should not be done so casually.

There are also some user interfaces that need no changing at all.
