It will be interesting to see if Apple decides to try to respond to that thing. It's pretty impressive in quite a few ways.

Probably not, they really seem dead-set against touch interfaces of macOS, and have made pretty much no improvement to it towards that end.

One reason might be that, if you buy a Macbook with a touchscreen, there is less reason to buy an iPad in addition to the Macbook.

I had one laptop with a touchscreen and it was so annoying that I disabled it. Every time I would brush something off of the screen, or someone would point at my screen and touch it, unexpected things would happen. Keyboards are much more efficient than touchscreens, so there didn't seem to be any point.

They're probably right about that. But they could put the pin sensor technology from the iPad Pro into an iMac and get a pretty good product. They did a fantastic job with it.
They most likely will just like they did with the iPad pro.
