I think we're talking more irrational fears, or more overwhelming ones. Some (most of) touchpads are not very pleasant to use, but that doesn't automatically make it a fear to avoid them. It's like styrofoam or nails on a chalkboard, it's just very annoying to most people.

It's not touchpads, I just mentioned that because I was helping a friend on his laptop and it had a touchpad with that texture and he wouldn't understand why I was using gloves on it (I turned on MouseKeys after a while because I could still feel the texture since I knew what I was touching, still wasn't great since I knew the touchpad was there I just had to go play Quake to forget about it).
Also it's not really an annoyance, I genuinely can't stand touching or seeing it (or thinking about it, though not as effective), it gives me a similar feeling to heights. It
is annoying in that no one I know has a similar problem at all and no one really understands/believes me when I mention that I don't want to hear about it. I personally can't get over it by any means other than forgetting about it over time.
