Sure, but "both would be ideal" exists. You can have an Escape key and Touch Bar, if you want.

I think two rows of function keys would be ideal!

Each with a little OLED display, please. (Why hasn't this happened yet??)

It's not "ideal". Function keys are exactly that: physical keys. Something you can use without looking down at your keyboard.
