Wasn't the Touch Bar-less model 13" only? That's hardly a Pro machine anyway, since it has no discrete graphics.

There are a huge number of pro users that don't require integrated graphics. Most developers don't need them.

Hence most developers.
But discrete graphics aren't needed for lots and lots of other software either.

depends what your definition of "pro" is, even if it's 50% of all users who do pro work that need a GPU (Video, photo, CAD) there's at least as many who need a lot of memory/CPU for various other things.
Programming/compiling not-withstanding there are many tasks today that are CPU intensive.
Plus, real professionals use slack, so that extra memory is needed.
