The 13" M1 MBP with touchbar didn't make a lot of sense then, now the M2 version even less so, I don't know why anyone would consider this model.

The M2 Pro/Max will be released later, nothing surprising here.

And no I don't think anyone misses having to choose between an overheating and throttled 6 or 8-core i7/i9.

Personally I love the touchbar. I got a M1 with the touchbar and some extra RAM/SSD and it's my main machine, but if I had have been in the market for purchasing one now instead of 6 months ago I definitely would have gone for the 13" Pro still. It has other advantages over the Air as well like active cooling (useful in some edge cases) and better battery life.

Having said that, I feel like I'm definitely in a tiny minority here.

As some would say, it's the decoy model that nobody wants. Drives upsells for apple.

Edit: almost nobody
