It's more modular and has decent integrations with a wide variety of apps

Make it opt-in! I'm happy for users that like it but it would lower the sticker price and make it more useful for those who don't.

I know Apple isn't known for offering LOTS of differing models of products but ffs we've been screaming this since 2016.

Well the marketing materials for the 2016 MBP would have been awkward without it.

- Better performance.

- Slightly thinner.

- Worse keyboard.

Surely you opt in by buying the single fucking device that Apple sells with this feature instead of any of the others which don’t?

The problem is that the entire "Pro" line is reduced to a single fucking device

F-keys don't have decent integration with apps since...forever?

A lot of programs have great F-key support. Adobe InDesign/Illustrator/Photoshop/etc. in particular made full use of them with the default shortcuts.
