The main problem is that Touch Bar is essentially a bunch of toolbar items in most apps, and toolbars are probably more convenient. The more elaborate slider-like stuff is pretty rare and still not obviously better. Same for color picker; it's limited compared to on-screen and less precise (so why use it?).
