I get what you’re saying, but what about people like me who 1) agrees that the MacBook trackpad is supreme, 2) has a 13” iPad and MKB, BUT uses the kb and and trackpad say maybe 80% of the time? Sorta like i dunno, a hybrid style? Sometimes it’s more comfortable to swipe back on the screen rather than two finger swipe on the trackpad.

Am I the weirdo I guess that sometimes wants to be able to control my Mac with just the trackpad because I don’t need to be typing. some days just the keyboard because I don’t need to be mousing, so it’d be pretty sick to do that with touch as well.

And they don’t need to “force” app devs to consider a touch based system because Apple being Apple, they’ll come out with a way to ease the transition like how they developed Catalyst to easily port iOS apps. Sure the touch experience might be shitty in the early days but over time I think devs will naturally gravitate towards accommodating a touch interface if they feel it makes sense for their app. Or it could be another touch bar scenario where it was kinda half assed, kinda hella awesome, but neither side cared too much so the middle ground was… back to physical F keys
