Heck, I wonder why they don't have BOTH function keys AND a touch bar. It looks like they could shrink the oversized touchpad slightly to recover enough space. Is it because the cost would be too high? Is it because it would ruin their design? Or is there some other reason?

I would love this. I have the touch bar set to show my dock at all times which just clicks for me. I'd love to still have function keys for IDE shortcuts in this configuration.

or make the trackpad a screen like Asus does...

Or both! I'm always surprised more people don't think about this combo. Seems like a perfect fit with their strengths.

I think in term of UX issue, is how one would switch context, between plain old trackpad and contextual touchpad.
