I wish the touchpad weren’t too large though or improve the palm detection. If macOS have the feature, then it is not on par as other trackpad manufacture which their palm detection/rejection is superior to Apple's. It is easily to mistouch it with my palm because of the offset placement from the standard keyboard. And it happens too often for me, I have it to set to autodisable the touchpad if my Bluetooth mouse is connected to it. But that just remove the important utility of the touchpad.
One thing I like about how the disabled touchpad will also disable the haptic feedback of the clicking. So, I know if the touchpad is disabled or not. It felt so weird for the first time when it is disabled since it is not clicky anymore. Because I thought it have depression underneath it. Blew my mind when I discovered it uses haptic feedback to mimic the touchpad depression. It felt so realistic!

Apple's palm rejection feels best-in-class to me -- I literally never have any issue with it on a MacBook Pro (I never even thought about it for years, using Macs exclusively), and I've never not had an issue with it on any Windows laptop I've tried (Lenovo Thinkpads, Asus, Dell, Alienware). All of the WinTel offerings seem to rely on a bog-standard Synaptics or Microsoft driver with mediocre-at-best palm rejection. Maybe it just works better for some people than others?
