Force touch? Hardly, it's a gimmick. The only "big deal" out of it is silent clicking, which is why I own Magic Trackpad 2, but not everyone will care about that.

Software support - well, yes, but it's within the application makers and power users reach to fix it. There's a common myth that "Apple touchpads work on magic", while in fact neither hardware nor the driver is so special. It's just the apps.
