I know what the point is.
But this is like saying the point of Force Touch is to give you a contextual menu based on the application... just how many applications have really made this feature shine?
The Macbook isn't the first to replace the F5 with dynamic keys/displays, there are Toshiba's from 2003 that did it, and recently the Lenovo X1 Carbon. The issue has never been the implementation, but the support from software.
I know the argument, "this is Apple, software will support it", but every piece of software? No, not at all. Because a lot of things installed for devs from Homebrew will be written for Linux and have no idea of the bar.
Perhaps Apple will have sane defaults... ESC, F-keys, etc. But this is why I said I will wait a few days for actual information to be released and initial reviews to come in.
