Apple has downplayed the existence of the function keys for much longer than the TouchBar though. On prior generation MacBooks the function keys provided actions (volume, brightness, etc.) as their primary function, requiring you to also press the Fn key to access the true F1-12 keys.
TouchBar MacBooks are much the same. If you press the Fn key, the TouchBar shows F1-F2.
