Touchless is definitely a better alternative and you are right, they don't clean it very well. That said, some use such a high PSI that they can damage your clearcoat and paint. Then there are the unknown chemical soaps and waxes you can't seem to deselect that probably blast off your $2,000 ceramic coating. Finally, there is the "spot free rinse" that creates a haze and more spots than if you didn't use it.
