It's interesting that a lot of the OP's reason for not needing the Touch Bar and/or TouchID is that the Apple Watch replaces it, because if I recall, the Touch Bar effectively is a built-in Apple Watch with a funny-shaped screen (i.e. it's a tiny iOS device). So it's not surprising that the watch provides much of the same functionality.
