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.

Why apple wont make a touchscreen laptop
Seriously, why are you so furious about not having a touchscreen. Who really uses them on a regular basis. Not a single product i tried that wanted to combine a laptop with a touchscreen was useful in the daily business. The closest to "useful" device is the latest Surface Pro.
Go knock yourself out and buy a Surface Pro if you're craving for a touchscreen. I prefer my screen grease-free.
