Lots of people also just don’t like the touch bar. I had one and found it useless and annoying. Previously one-touch things like adjusting the audio volume became multi-press affairs. I constantly bumped the touch bar when using the number keys, which was really fun when entering a phone number in Chrome, because it would throw me into the search bar.

I would not call the touch bar low quality. I would call it useless.

On a related note, the massive trackpad was the first one Apple has produced that bugged me. It got stuck in “drag” mode frequently because my palm would register as a touch point. It also didn’t always register clicks on the right edge. Still better than almost all other trackpads I’ve used.
