In a certain sense, that is precisely what you want: Make it more difficult for your competitors to copy you. Unfortunately with Touch Bar, it isn't on every Mac, so developers are loath to put too much effort into it. It needs to reside on the desktop Mac, as well as all laptops in order to get enough momentum to draw truly interesting adoption. At first, it felt futuristic. Now, it feels like a feature for the sake of features, and one that gets too much ho-hum. It is a very good idea, but with not very good execution.
iPhones are like this to a point. They
all need to have Face ID, and they
all need to support Force Touch. Apple used to be the brand that was focused and consistent. Now, they have too many screen sizes, too many UI differences, and too many screen shapes. They need to find some commonality amongst their products.
