There is another significant downside: UI interaction is not really practical. I guess you could add a pointer, but then the whole UI becomes complex again. It's certainly a clever research idea, but it doesn't strike me as practical.
Quite frankly, having owned several touch-oriented devices to this point, I find the fingerprints to be a very small issue. When viewing light screens, the backlight makes them disappear. When I put the phone in my pocket, the pocket rubs off the fingerprints.
