The new Macbook Air actually has TouchID without the touch bar.

I actually mind the touch bar, because I like having actual keys for brightness adjusment, keyboard backlight, and volume.

That’s cool, I wouldn’t mind that either because there’s nothing killer about the Touch Bar. It’s not useless either though. I use zoom daily, and the ability to just tap mute on the Touch Bar is pretty nice. Not can’t live without it nice like Touch ID, but not negligible either. There are a number of little features like that in apps that make the Touch Bar a net positive for me.
