Lately I've been wondering about the reasoning behind these hellish flat keyboards, and then I thought of the Touchbar and the following popped into my head: the ultra flat keyboards are just a segue into a new form factor with a full screen, tablet-like glass bottom half replacing the keyboards altogether. The current situation is just apple's way of getting everyone one step closer, while they work their way up (or rather down) to that goal.
Does this make sense to anyone else?
