Doesn't need more explanation. That touch bar was very useful.

To some people, not all. There was probably just as large a contingent of people who hated it as there was who loved it.

I think Apple should have made it an optional BYO feature, but they didn't so that's what we're stuck with.

For what? I've never seen any use case. Were there specific apps for specific markets that made use of it?

My favorite one was MS Word/MS Office. It was always contextual, just quick tap on touchbar without reaching mouse and clicking option on ribbon menu. TBH I think that from apps that I used daily only MS and Apple tried to figure out how to make touch bar usable.
