Which is weird it's a feature exclusively on their "Pro" line of laptops.

Well, there are many kinds of "professionals".

Designers, photographers or people working with audio/video production don't really need touch-typing.

And those are arguably the kind of "Pro" users Apple is targeting, not coders.

And those are almost all people who don't use a 13-15" screen for their work whenever they can help it. Which makes the touch bar useless.
