Touchscreens are the big missing feature on macOS.
It's not useful as a primary input method, but after using a Windows Surface computer for some time I'm surprised how often the touch display is useful.
Lots of websites are optimized for touch / mobile first. Wether you are filling a form or watching Netflix or Disney plus, touching the screen is just much more convenient. Keyboard navigation is increasingly an afterthought on many websites.
Macs now support running iOS apps. Using them without a touch screen is going to be a very poor experience.
And finally, some things like annotating PDFs are things that are really cumbersome without a touch display -- when I need to do that on a Mac, I just print out the page because using the track pad or mouse for annotations is just not an option for me.
