The amount of money spent on the TouchBar has nothing to do with anything. Apple makes a new set of chips for each new iPhone, iPad and Mac; they have the in-house expertise and the budget to make whatever they want whenever they want.
It's not like the Mac division has it's own profit/lost statement it has to worry about.
The main reason why it's taken this long to get MacBook Pros to this level of performance is due to delays by Intel; simple as that.
