This was a periodic issue for me as well - over the years I've learned to rest my left pinkie over the escape key in case I need to suddenly stop/cancel something. Havoc ensues when you take that surface and make it touch-sensitive rather than a physical key needing to be pressed...
I wonder were the touchbar's introduction to have been delayed until post-Ive Apple with the improved keyboard/layout of the 16-inch MacBook Pro with the physical escape key if it would have been a different story.
I also think the best place for the touchbar would have been across the "front" of the MacBooks where the divot to open the screen lives so that it could be used when the screen was closed...
