My dad used to do this before I bought him a Mac. He’d had touch screen windows laptops since they first appeared on the market. I’d yell at him and say, don’t put your grubby fingers on my screen. Now that he has a Mac, he feels it is significantly superior to not touch the screen for this exact reason. The trackpad scrolling experience on a Mac more than makes up for it. I think no touch screens is a brilliant design wisdom that falls right in line with Apple’s design philosophy, if it becomes more of a differentiator in that Mac have clean screens, that’s good, subtle marketing. I have never heard someone who owns a Mac in the wild say, why doesn’t it have a touch screen?
