You have to reach over hot bits in the front to get to hot bits in the back when cooking anyways… once again, for a normal sized adult this poses literally 0 risk of anything.
I’ve used both styles of stove and really don’t have a preference either way (other than anxiety about accidentally bumping into the front ones). My current stove has back controls and it really has never registered as a problem.

What if you don’t have hot bits in the back? The design seems annoying
