How user friendly is the Kodiaq's infotainment system?

Modern vehicles have a very important role of the infotainment system in the general user experience, and Skoda Kodiaq's system is no exception. This is a premium offering, so we have pretty high expectations for both functionality and ease of use. But owners and reviewers have polarising views on the Kodiaq's infotainment system. Others praised its feature set and response, whilst some thought it unintuitive or buggy. Among those topics discussed are system learning curve, voice command effectiveness, smartphone integration, and even the physical button versus touchscreen control interface. The debate often continues into comparing the Kodiaq's infotainment to systems found in competitor vehicles, and how well it will age over time, including software updates and long term usability. This is one of those topics that tends to show different priorities between users, those that want the latest and greatest features, and those that want something simple and straightforward.
