Could anyone tell me why there is a three-microphone array built in to the touchbar? My privacy-sense is tingeling like crazy over this.

Well microphone arrays are directional. Is that the question? It allows an app to home in on the speaker, avoiding background noise.
Probably necessary to make Siri more reliable.
