Based on a lot of the comments here, it seems like the hate for the touchbar isn’t necessary about the touchbar itself but rather the implementation. It’s a cool concept that is just underused.
Removing the Touchbar doesn’t really take us forward anymore than adding it did back in 2016. In my opinion, Apple needs to drastically improve the Touch Bar both in hardware and in software. The touchbar should show quick actions and toggles that are not as easily accessible on the main screen. They need to improve it in a way that actually brings clear advantages. Hopefully they can.
