Not sure what that means for the iX.

Nothing. Why should you need to worry about what platform iX is built on, or whether it would be used for other cars?

Not sure why everything has to be controlled via touch screen.

The trend is to move towards touch screen and voice control.
Mercedes is doing the same thing with Hyperscreen.

And why does the screen have to look like an afterthought on the dash. It’s just like they built the dash and then bolted the wide screen on there. Would like to see a better more seemless integration.

This is not at all an afterthought. The dash is designed like that.
Seamless integration means thick and large dash. The traditional design was done out of necessity to hide the thick instrument panel. This is no longer necessary, allowing much more airy interior with a low dash.
The curved screen is like a floating design, and I think it looks great.
So far, almost all the reviews were very positive about the screen, iDrive 8 and all the controls.
