It just feels like stubbornness to me at this point. I don't think there would be enough overlap that adding touch to the mac would reduce tablet sales... totally different experiences in a lot of ways. I've had touch on my last 2 Thinkpads and find that I utilize it quite a bit. I haven't noticed a ton of fingerprints, but I also take care of my equipment (probably a little more fastidiously than most...). Having the ability to do a little pen work in certain apps has been clutch, and if I wanted to utilize the pen or touch more... I would get a more dedicated device(e.g. Thinkpad Yoga or Surface Pro). Feel like this would be similar workflow in the Apple world... Macbook with some helpful touch... iPad when you need to focus on touch...

Apple cannibalizes its own products all the time, it's not about reducing tablet sales. It's probably more about not really making sense (at least, them thinking that), even where it is available (on Windows laptops). It might be added at some point, but not because its actually useful, but after they have exhausted more useful differentiating factors to add to newer models.
