Both? The missing Escape was a hardware disaster, but unrealized potential and UI issues was a software one. Though not having multitouch is also hardware. > and the volume would also appear in the old HUD on the screen, altogether feeling like different parts of the system weren’t aware of each other. As it should: first, you can cover the slider with your finger, so the level reading becomes hidden. Second, why would you look at the slider instead of the screen where all the other useful information is?

>The missing Escape was a hardware disaster, They actually have ESC key with a later update. Although I thought it was too late. They should have done it the next year after first Touch Bar was introduced. I believe that is not because product designer don't want to change but some part of the supply chain / operation don't want to waste money on new design so quickly.

This was the root of several problems with that era of MBP. Intel wasn’t able to make good on their promise of new efficient CPUs, instead serving up reheated 14nm for the Nth time, and then Apple was stuck with a pile of chassises, heatsinks, etc (and associated tooling) that were incapable of handling the heat output of the CPUs they actually got.
