Apple said they would never release a touchscreen Mac. I agree with Apple's reasoning that a touchscreen Mac is awkward because you have to constantly lift your arms up to use it, but maybe this new MBP will fold over and work like a tablet or something similar.
Regardless this is a rumour, and at the very least I bet it will get delayed to 2027, or get cancelled. That is my guess.
I personally would love an iPad with MacOS as my daily driver. Use it as an iPad for casual use, and dock it for work.
