Are there a substantial number of macOS users using touchscreens?

EDIT: I don't know how I forgot about pinch to zoom via the trackpad. While my original question did start me down an interesting rabbit hole of touchscreen MacOS, I 100% agree that a lack of smooth pinch to zoom via the trackpad detracts from the overall user experience.

No macOS machines ship with touchscreens, but trackpad gestures are used heavily throughout macOS. I find pinch zooming on the Mac to feel pretty natural.
I think he's referring to pinch-to-zoom using the trackpad since there are no Mac computers with touchscreens at all.
You pinch to zoom on the trackpad, there’s no touchscreen
You Can pinch to zoom using the mousepad om MacBooks.
on windows laptops with precision touchpad too
