I don't know if user complaints about the TouchBar on the MBP will be enough for Apple to abandon it, but I can dream.

If nobody had complained, Apple probably would have waited even longer (or even discontinued) the Mac Pro.

It's important to me that Apple keep Mac healthy, so I can't get enough.

You're overestimating the effects of your whining. It's definitely not the reason Apple brought out an update about the Mac Pro; you are never going to buy one anyway. The reason they had an update was that they couldn't deliver the upgrades they need.

It also won't be a reason to abandon the Touch Bar because despite the vocal minority of whiners it is selling like hot cakes and more importantly it's a way Apple can differentiate its laptops from other manufacturers.

Ultimately money talks and bullshit walks.

You might be right. I haven't been following Apple too closely.
