I had been waiting for the new MBP, and when Apple released the 2016 touchbar models I went and bought the 2015 15'' model.
I used the 2015 for a year before selling it because the Intel GPU was seriously underpowered and the 4th gen CPU ran too hot which made the fans annoyingly audible too often.
So since I din't need the portability I ended up getting a 5K iMac, which is quite frankly the best Mac I've ever owned. I still use a 2014 13'' MBP that I had lying around on the rare times I travel or work away from home.
I hope Apple knows all the problems with the current laptop line, but if they don't do something quick they will end up losing a lot of audience. Unless something drastic happens my next laptop won't be an Apple one.
I'm guessing people working at Apple are not idiots. Probably they couldn't find any other way of keeping the small profile and since everyone was expecting a redesign they had to go with it.
I imagine Apple is working on a complete redesign of their laptop line, but that takes time. Specially when the Mac is only 10% of your business.
