I don't think anyone cares. I remember the switch from a MacBook with a (no-adjective) trackpad to a MacBook with a haptic trackpad. There was absolutely nothing earth-shattering about that switch, it was a great trackpad before and a great trackpad after.

The trackpad still clicks better than 80% of all other non-Apple trackpads, for any price.

For you maybe but seems a reasonable compromise to hit the price point and I bet you’d miss it less than you think
