> The truth is that the moment Apple offers a touch screen on macOS, the Mac cult faithful will hail the day as a breakthrough in innovation. Did they do it when Apple offered the touch bar? Or did annoying nerds complain so much that Apple finally removed this pretty cool feature? Anybody who thinks about it for a few minutes will realize that any touch interface on a laptop has to be on the bottom part and not on the screen to be great. The touch bar was an attempt, and could have been very useful. Maybe having the entire keyboard be a touch interface could be something, like BlackBerry did? |

I think it is quite clear that touchscreen laptops are a desired product. Apple would just rather you buy both an iPad and a Mac as separate devices so they can double-dip.
If this style of touchscreen is bad as you say you have to explain why Apple sells keyboards that turn the iPad into a laptop with a touch screen: https://www.apple.com/shop/product/mwr53ll/a/magic-keyboard-...
