are you so upset by point 2 that you forgot point 3?
some people seem to think that apple is in the business of personally catering to their every whim.
i totally get why you wouldn’t like the touch bar, but you don’t have to buy that model. in fact, you don’t have to buy a macbook at all.
it’s also pretty astonishing to me how many people vehemently hate this thing they’ve never even tried to use.

There is no such an option for the 15-inch model. In fact, the 13-inch model that doesn't come with this bar is the lower-end one. If it is genuinely an 'option', every model should come with a variant without this bar.
You can set it to permanently show images of control keys, on a flat surface. If I wanted a tablet I'd buy a tablet; keys have boundaries between them, push down and spring up, and otherwise respond to fingers in ways that a tablet doesn't.
