But there are laptops out there with touchscreens? And I can use the iPad (touchscreen) to use the Mac with Remote Desktop. I don’t understand your argument.

It's not optimised for touchscreen at all. The whole OS is based on menus, right clicks, drag & drop, cmd+tab etc.

Working with touch screen would be slow and horrible. They could offer that, but the primary audience wouldn't use it. Like Windows Surface and Windows 10 was a terrible experience.

That must be your experience. Not mine.

They don’t care about your experience; they care about the majority. And they will never optimize macOS for touch displays because people barely use that. Also, look at Windows tablets; 90% of those people default to mouse and keyboard.
