No, I have my timeline correct. You are just ignoring what I'm writing.

Yes.
So, prior to 2016, they could have been working on building out a 32GB machine, giving people what they wanted.
But they didn't.

But it wasn't perfectly fine for people they are currently marketing to.
Apple put the "touch screen on your keyboard" when they introduced the current design in 2016.
At the time, and for the next year, 2017, the design was perfectly fine for the then-current Intel CPUs models. And Intel was promising even more efficient models.
It's not like there was a thermal problem in 2016, when Apple introduced the design and they ignored it to concentrate on the touch strip. Not only wasn't there such a problem at 2018, it still wasn't in 2017 either.
One could argue that Apple should have created a new design in the 5-6 previous months during which they had Intels new chips at hand.
But that's a much shorter notice, and something totally different than the inane complain about "focusing on the touch screen on the keyboard" which gets the timeline backwards.
