Ford's use of keyed ignitions vary across the lineup. Some models are all push button start, and even those are not all "intelligent access". Keys do not bother me, but, it seem most want that feature and not sure what manufacturers still use keyed ignitions. Own a 2014 F350 and 2011 Mustang GT with keyed ignitions, and have a 2023 Bronco Basequatch with basic push button start which I prefer over "intelligent access".
I also do not like the trend to all digital clusters, bigger screens and less buttons and knobs!
