I have only implement touch buttons for hobby projects using a different MCU, but is there a reason to not just use the PIOs for touch sensing?

It's huge, it only exposes 26 GPIOs.

I'm not saying Pico sucks by any means. It has uses and places. It's just very not this: https://www.digikey.ca/en/products/detail/espressif-systems/...
