If that's the case, it should be able to be switched up with an OBDeleven app no?

Oh buddy, I am right there with you with this A4! I'm coming from a Honda Civic, and I picked up by '17 Premium Plus in June. The only regrets are not going for the sport suspension and cold weather package, but I'm in love with everything else about it. I'm also in my early thirties, and managed to score a low monthly payment. Congrats on not having one--that must *definitely* feel nice! 
A few notes on your gripes. I'm both 100% new to Audi and the A4, so a bit of this might come from the context of my own learning curve. It took me a really long time to fiddle the seats into a comfortable position (that's definitely my n00bness talking), and I've noticed that the right seating position in this car--even without the sport seats--can make you feel more connected. I have about 4k miles on the clock, and my break-in period has certainly ended. Depending on your sensitivities, you might notice the car feels a bit more "warmed up" after its broken in (like the car needed to stretch before exercising). The only thing that doesn't go away is the dual clutch hesitation, but you can alleviate that in "S" or Dynamic mode--whichever you prefer.
I wasn't sure what I thought about the static screen either, but it grew on me. Audiworld users have alerted me these can be costly to fix if they break down the line. As for the cleaning... I've had to limit myself to a carwash every two weeks. This is a car you feel inclined to take care of, so don't be surprised if you're always a stickler (I was the same way with my Civic, so that might just be me).
Enjoy it, man!

No it does not get any better, the day you took the car home was not only the apex of your ownership experience with your A4 but also the apex of your life. Every day from hence forth will be worse than the day that preceded it.
