I'm guessing people working at Apple are not idiots. Probably they couldn't find any other way of keeping the small profile and since everyone was expecting a redesign they had to go with it.
I imagine Apple is working on a complete redesign of their laptop line, but that takes time. Specially when the Mac is only 10% of your business.
I had been waiting for the new MBP, and when Apple released the 2016 touchbar models I went and bought the 2015 15'' model.
I used the 2015 for a year before selling it because the Intel GPU was seriously underpowered and the 4th gen CPU ran too hot which made the fans annoyingly audible too often.
So since I din't need the portability I ended up getting a 5K iMac, which is quite frankly the best Mac I've ever owned. I still use a 2014 13'' MBP that I had lying around on the rare times I travel or work away from home.
I hope Apple knows all the problems with the current laptop line, but if they don't do something quick they will end up losing a lot of audience. Unless something drastic happens my next laptop won't be an Apple one.

Got a System76 Darter. Very happy with it. Great keyboard.
By the way, the dude in that video is really irritating to listen to and watch. What is up with his hands?
