Fight me but I miss the touchbar, it was customizable to be super useful with better touch tool

I suspect that the touch bar served its likely real purpose: to ship an ARM CPU with a secure enclave in the machines so that we could have Touch ID without needing to wait for Apple Silicon. Everything other than that was gravy, an interesting experiment.

I didn't mind the touchbar, and enjoyed some of the added functionality. Would have been so much better if it had been an addition instead of a replacement for the top row of keys.

loved the touchbar for things like timeline scrubbers and quick shortcuts in my pro software

Have to say I really prefer butterfly keyboard (as long as it works).

My finger tips literally becoming purple colored due to the insane heat of that aluminum's thing in the i9 era. still hurts.
