If that's the case, you can just go into System Preferences and make the expanded view the default.

Yes but then you loose the app dynamic controls and the benefits of having a dynamic touch bar.

Weren't you just complaining that you'd rather not have the touch bar and would rather have the default keys? It sounds like you're looking for a scenario that's not possible. Either you have fully dynamic keys or you have the option to customize the entire row. I don't really see a way you could have both.
