Gestures on the touch screen will only work when the touch screen is on and active. The nice thing about a home button, in addition to the fact that it's another anchor point to use for orientation, is that it's another mechanical switch that will work even when the touch screen isn't on and active. This gives you more options when the touch screen isn't active to interact with your phone, such as waking it up from the lock state, resetting the phone when there's a problem with the interface or enabling a screen reader before you have feedback from the screen.

I’ve never understood what the big deal is the phones not having a Home button. 
Remember more and more devices lack Home buttons, thus instead of buttons, you 
use gestures to simulate Home button functions.

It looks like Apple is done with the home button for good, the 3 new iphones 
that Apple announced are based on the new iphone X form factor, the Iphone XS 
replaces the Iphone X from last year, the Iphone XS max sounds like it's the 
plus version with a larger screen, and the Iphone XR is the cheaper version. 
The iphone 7 and 8 will remain as Apple's budget iphone models and the Iphone 
SE has been discontinued. This means that Apple no longer sells any phones with 
a small form factor now or that have a headphone jack. I got an iphone 8 and 
iphone SE earlier this year so have no interest in getting any of these new 
ones at this point, and I'm just not ready to give up the home button yet 
either.
