If they'd only add touchscreens. Sigh.
Edit: Ouch, so many downvotes just for asking for a feature. Weird.

Also, Apple never does things half-assed, if they put a touchscreen in they're doing for all models just like they did the touchbar.
It's not useful as a primary input method, but after using a Windows Surface computer for some time I'm surprised how often the touch display is useful.
Lots of websites are optimized for touch / mobile first. Wether you are filling a form or watching Netflix or Disney plus, touching the screen is just much more convenient. Keyboard navigation is increasingly an afterthought on many websites.
Macs now support running iOS apps. Using them without a touch screen is going to be a very poor experience.
And finally, some things like annotating PDFs are things that are really cumbersome without a touch display -- when I need to do that on a Mac, I just print out the page because using the track pad or mouse for annotations is just not an option for me.
Not saying never though.
People use a lot of web apps that were designed mobile first, and using them without a touch screen sucks.
You wouldn't use the touch screen as primary input, but it would make a lot of things much easier.
The hinge would need to be sturdy enough to not wobble when the user is dragging or tapping with a finger. The body would need to be heavier than the screen by a big enough margin to not topple the whole thing over when tapping.
