Fortunately, macOS isn't being made to look like a big iPhone. Nothing in macOS is optimised for touch — all touch targets remain roughly the same size as they've always been with some things being a little bigger, but only for improving visual clarity, not for being easier to touch. Nothing about macOS is being made touch-friendly. Nothing about macOS is being made into an iPhone. If anything, this release makes it easier for iPad apps to become non-touch-friendly by making it easier to bring iPad apps to Catalyst without having to do complete restylings to match other macOS apps. That's the benefit of consistent design language. iPad apps become better macOS apps, not the other way around. The Mac is still a Mac. Desktops are desktops. Laptops are laptops. Separately, in iPad land, tablets are tablets. Nothing about the new design language changes that.
