I have something like a touch bar on my Windows laptop. The main problem I have with it is that I touch it without knowing I have. Many a time I've gone down a rabbit hole of WIFI network issues to only discover that I've accidentally toggled WIFI off by brushing the bar.

This is one feature on my Windows laptop I don't like and not excited for a new Mac with one.

If they use haptic feedback it might not be so bad. Plus, apple controls the OS and hardware together, so they can ensure notifications must be shown for behavior like turning off WIFI or something similar.
Read a review, no haptic feedback [0]. Bummer. You are definitely right about haptic making a touch bar less prone to accidental touch.
