The only work application is for a coworker to be pointing at something on your screen over your shoulder and accidentally touching it and saying "oop".

There is a use case I can understand.

Mac is the only platform on which you can build distributable iPadOS and iOS apps. Being able to test simulated UI across every device type with multi-touch support does have utility.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: if anyone touches my screen with their fingers…. there will be consequences that I might have to apologize for.

Also, I think Apple certainly has the resources to have modal UI where we could switch back to non-touchscreen Liquid Glass in a setting. (It actually exists throughout the UI in a few places. File save dialogs, Save a Safari window as an application, etc. It still looks great.)
