Killed Touch Bar Could Have Been the Perfect Control Strip for AI Agents

A developer suggested that if Apple's MacBook Touch Bar had survived, it would have been the perfect physical interface for controlling AI agents.
Replying to the idea, another user argued that the Touch Bar failed not because the concept was flawed, but due to poor ergonomic execution. Placed at the very top of the keyboard, it was actually less convenient than standard keyboard shortcuts. Had it been positioned right above the trackpad, it could have been highly practical.
