Hot take: The touch bar is goofballs. Going from a magnetic connector to usb-3 is a usability regression. Removing the headphone jack is user hostile.
These are takes a lot of Apple users would, to varying degrees, agree with, so I'm not sure how "hot" they are. :) You can make a case for all of those choices, too, but despite the reputation us Apple fans seem to have, most of us just aren't going to say "I hate this, but because Apple did this, I must actually love it." In fact, we tend to be very, very vocal about things Apple does that piss us off, and most of us have a list of such things that goes back decades.
(Personally, I think removing the headphone jack is user hostile on the iPad Pro but not the phone; I think MagSafe is superior from a UX standpoint to USB-C, but USB-C has some advantages when you have USB-C ports on opposite sides of the laptop, a test several of Apple's USB-C-only gadgets fail; and the Touch Bar is a solution in search of a problem.)
