I hope this is an optional extra, like the nano texture display option. I really want an oled MacBook Pro but I don’t wanna pay for a touchscreen that I’ll never use.

Literally all I want is either an iPad with macOS. Or a Mac with Apple Pencil support. Doesn’t matter from which direction it happens. Just give us a desktop class operating system with Apple Pencil support.

They don't, and are unlikely to. There are a lot of speculative reasons why people have come up with over the years, but I think Apple Explained has the best explanation- it's just not comfortable or practical. Holding your arm like that for long periods of time causes fatigue, it won't really navigate UIs any faster, and it leaves you with a screen full of fingerprints (not that MacBooks don't have this issue anyway). It's the same reason people don't want to wander around a virtual mall shopping in the Metaverse- a search bar on a website is faster and more convenient.

Apple's touchscreen MacBook Pro is reportedly coming next year without a notch | Macworld
October 17, 2025 - Apple is also abandoning the notch, instead going with a hole punch that’s “similar in concept to the Dynamic Island on the iPhone,” Gurman said. And then there’s a marquee feature of the future MacBook: a touch screen. Gurman does provide a new bit in regards to this: the laptop’s hinge will be reinforced and use screen hardware so that the touch screen doesn’t move or bounce when touched.
