Im hoping that the "new form factor" rumours for next years MacBook range, is in fact a macPad - the equivalent of a large format iPad with magic keyboard, etc - but running macOS. It would actually make the new ability to run iOS apps even more practical. Literally open an iOS/iPad app and it behaves exactly as an iPad would. iPads already have keyboards and trackpads, MacBooks have ability to run iOS apps - its not a great leap to see this as the next step. Id even be happy with a single TB port. Thats all Im using on my 8GB MBP M1 anyway - connecting to a dock for some extra storage, network, power delivery and connecting to 3 4k monitors while in clamshell (and SD card reader, and 4 USB3 ports left over, and daisy chaining...). I really don't get port-anxiety when one gives you all this... As for making macOS itself touch capable - god no. Keep those behaviours restricted to the views of the "iPad" apps. If you aren't plugged into a keyboard or a dock, or if you enter "iPad mode" (maybe via a hardware switch - like the old silent-mode one), then it could behave just like a regular iPad. Theres none of the windows nonsense if you don't make the "desktop" aspects touch capable.
