That was the last Mac I ever bought for both those reasons. Sure, I had my replacement keyboard, but it was doomed to fail just like the last one. The Touch Bar seemed cool but then it was discontinued, so goodbye ever seeing any more integrations.

I want to believe that a department at Apple, deep in the basement of some outbuilding, knows that there are people like me who feel so let down by them. Maybe if you can find them and you know the secret knock then they’ll slide open a hatch and say sorry before telling you to leave? Sorry.

Ten years later and I am of course much happier with my FOSS laptop.

Nah, Apple has far too much hubris.
