All the examples are a case of unfortunate timing: asynchronous things doing late UI replacement that happen to conflict with the time window in which you click.
That's amateur stuff. Our car does this intentionally. As your finger is in mid-air, on its way to hit something on the touch screen, it's detecting this motion and then shows a context bar in the top and bottom by the time you land your finger. Which often overlays whatever you were going to touch.
It's so comically bad that I think a team of engineers is laughing back at the factory: "look! he's trying to touch something again!".
The other prank they included is traffic alerts. You're sitting in a traffic jam for 10 minutes already and then my music stops, only to hear: slow traffic ahead.
Some phones are great at this - if you're on a call and want to look up your account number to give to a service rep, getting close enough to tap an app button turns off your screen, even in speakerphone mode. Pull back your hand to tap the power button to turn on the screen? Well the screen detected your finger left and turned on just as you were hitting it. Now you're in a third state, intentionally off screen, and just moving your finger around the sensors won't change that. You have to tap the same power button again, and then start the process all over.
Don't forget you've been talking to a service rep this whole time, or more likely sitting going "uhhhhhhmmm..." like a dipshit.
