not even apple uses them. I’d like to sometimes point and click on my linux machine. With my finger. What’s wrong with that, it seems to work well on all the smartphones out there.

    For Apple specifically, it’s because it would cannibalize the sales of the iPad. They’ve pretty much got the tablet market cornered, the iPad is considered the only “good” tablet nowadays and by far the best selling, and they’re NOT giving that up. They’ll gladly let you sync your iPad to your Macbook to get a similar effect as having a direct touchscreen input though! How nice of them!
