Looks like they only “got rid” of the Touch Bar for the more expensive model. Really trolling their customers now

Well, the 13" Pro already has the M1 chip and will probably be gradually replaced by the 14", so there's no reason to update it. Where's the trolling?
No they didn't? The 14 and 16 inch don't have the touchbar.
Exactly. No touch bar and cost more money
The Air doesn't have a touch bar and costs less money. It's also a perfectly good -- no, sorry: an excellent laptop for most applications, including development.
I suspect the 13" M1 Pro was probably just something to cater for those who were skeptical about a fanless laptop since no one really knew back then how well these machines would perform. Now that the M1s have been out for a while and no one seems to be complaining about the Air, they can drop the M1 Pro.
