Will Apple Kill the Touch Bar on the MacBook Pro?

I want to see some idea as to why Apple thought it was important to hire this team. And even more so to let the workflow app continue to be an app that exists. I really strongly think that the touch bar on the MacBook Pros is a total dead end and a total waste of developer time and attention. What would fill my heart with joy is if Apple said, you know, we have new MacBook Pros this year for all the developers in the audience but when they show them on screen, there's no touch bar.
