If they are willing to implement it in such a way that acknowledges that different people interact with their devices in different ways, then yes, that's fine. If this is the thin end of the wedge that would end with forcing people into touch, that would not be fine.
Arguments for:
1. if appropriately paired with improved scalability of the UI (which surely shouldn't be too much of a barrier now that Retina is more or less universal on the Mac), this would be great for people with vision problems
2. Increasingly, some PC users are getting accustomed to bypassing the keyboard for more visual things and this removes a barrier to switching.
3. helpful for anyone who's on the fence between a laptop and a tablet.
Arguments against:
1. It's a maintenance nightmare, constant screen cleaning.
2. Shifts in UI like this sometimes get imposed on people who don't want it in a way that prematurely cuts off hardware and disrupts workflows, especially where a company like Apple is concerned with a closed OS and trying to limit SKUs. This should be alternative input, not a mandate.
3. It will add weight and complexity to a given product. (Hopefully offset by tandem OLED)
For my purposes I'd rather have a drawing tablet. We're now almost at the point that an iPad can replace a Wacom, at which point you have a device that both lets you carry a second monitor on the road (!) and serves as a pen-and-paper input and even a backup machine.
The tandem OLED is to be encouraged, however. Retina XDR is good, but tandem OLED better still.
I won't be among the early adopters though, I just got an M5 Max. I found a flash sale and needed an AI-proficient personal device.
