Not too sure why this is being posted now? The actual meat is in a different ticket anyway:

Looks like it was submitted by an Apple intern and hasn't been touched since 2017. I can't say I've heard too many people crying out for a Web API for the touch bar but maybe I'm not listening to the right people.

Yeah, this post doesn't have merit — and thanks for linking, was interesting reading some of the comments.

As an aside, I bet many of HN don't see much value in Touch Bar as it likely has a higher propensity of touch typers than visual/hunt-and-peck typers, for whom Touch Bar really did shine. Not a feedback loop worth fulfilling, however.

The Touch Bar is also on the way out, so there doesn’t seem much value in adding this API anymore now.
