During the demo, they showed an Esc key in the touch bar when using Terminal and a few other apps

  Pretty much. I am struggling to understand the issue here.

    Three points: The escape key is not where it is normally. The escape key is not present in all contextual operations (that is, you can open up a menu on the touchbar which causes the escape key to disappear in favor of a "close" button). There is no physical feedback that you've hit escape.

      I will admit, the lack of taptic feedback on the touch bar is surprising to me, given it's presence in the touchpad

      The only thing I can accept is the lack of feedback. As long as the Escape keys exist when required, why worry about when they don't?

        For me? Because I can't tell without looking at the keyboard whether it exists or not (and potentially whether it's been moved by some program's integration with the touchbar). I've been touch typing for years now, and the idea that I have to look down at the keyboard to see if a key exists (a key that that has existed for the entirety of my computing history) is ludicrous.
