I've seen quite a few developers say that they chose the M1 Air over the M1 Pro mainly because they didn't want the touchbar.

  The main reason for me was the touchbar. The second reason was that, without a fan, there is no way for dust to get inside.

    Exactly the same for me.

    Without a fan it will also hit thermal limits more quickly and throttle the CPU before the MacBook Pro would.
