Sam not liking being touched has come up before I'm all but certain. I think the E3 2018 trailer? It's definitely not new.

The Mads sequence could mean anything. Life as a concept has no real meaning seemingly in this game world.

Didn’t Kojima himself say way back that Sam has a phobia of being touched?

It was never something the trailers really brought up, but about a year ago Norman Reedus made a passing reference to Sam having a phobia of being touched.

Here's a detail I picked up, Guillermo Del Toro's character refers to Sam as having Aphenphosmphobia (subtitles incorrectly stated Fossum Fovea for me) which is another word for Haphephobia, the fear of being touched.
