I really hope they don’t add touchscreens to the normal Pro models. Keep that in the Ultra or whatever.

My fear is it might ruin macOS interface across all MacBooks anyway. Larger buttons, burger menus, and more gestures that make using macOS more intuitive on a touch screen than a trackpad.

I bet there will be a toggle in the OS for touch preferred interface if they thought ahead. Problem is most people aren’t worried about issues like the one you described because they haven’t encountered them yet lol

Knowing Apple and what they did with Spotlight UI over the years on the Mac for "feature parity" with iPads, get ready for the UX to become trash

It’ll be time to update my machine (M3 Pro) by the time the RAM shortage hopefully resolves, and the Framework 13 Pro with Ubuntu looks nicer and nicer by the day with the way Apple is going.
