I'm unsure if your comment is serious or not.
How many Macbook Pro users have you surveyed ? And how do you think that compares to Apple who clearly did some product marketing work before adding a very expensive new feature.

New macbook user since 5 months, I totally LOVE the touch bar.
The only problem is the lack of ESC key really, but after you remap it to Caps Lock everything is good again.

How do you remap it? Last I looked (when I was deciding whether or not to ditch CentOS for a Mac) swapping Esc and CapsLock on the Mac required third-party software and was a pain.

Since Sierra, you've been able to do it from within System Preferences, no hacks required!

On mine I've noticed that the left over space on the far left edge responds like an escape key most of the time - see if it does for you

7 months in, really like it. Much better than fixed keys.
I'm yet to meet a single person who likes the touch bar after 1 month.
