Touch screens are great if the apps are designed to be touch based with gestures, larger UI elements etc. But desktop apps are designed primarily for mouse and keyboard interaction. It will always feel a bit weird using touch for desktop apps, and a mouse with an iPad.

Im sure if it was a good idea and they would sell well, Apple would do it. They have probably done their research.

Bear in mind they did their Touch Bar, and it was rejected by consumers. Maybe that was their test?

The touch bar is useless 90% of the time though. I use it to adjust audio, that's it. It's completely different to having your entire screen be touch screen.
