It always seems like Apple was half-hearted about this feature. Lots of Mac users use an external keyboard and monitor, even with their Macbooks. iMac and Mac Pro users had no Touchbar access at all.
Why didn't Apple sell an external keyboard that included Touchbar? That would have given developers a much larger user base, and would get more of their users hooked on it.

- kevincox 5y agoJust make the cheaper devices refuse to display anything on it. It can just be hard-coded to display only function keys!
