This is part of why I like the MacBook Air M1 computer so much. Great keyboard with an esc key.

Agreed. When my wife was looking to replace her 2013ish Air and comparing M1 Air vs Pro, I told her I'd pay $300 not to have the touch bar.

The last of the Intel macs have real Esc keys too (eg the 16” Pro)

non-Intel 16" Pros do, too. Escape key was added back in Nov 2019.

There are no non-Intel 16" Macbook Pros.

The MBP M1 also has a physical esc key AND a touchbar. Best of both worlds.
