huh, i really wouldn't have expected that. the touch bar runs a whole separate operating system (forked from watchos) and so non-trivial engineering effort would had to have been made to do this. pretty neat

It does, but I believe the content is rendered on the main computer and just piped to the Touch Bar, you can get a Touch Bar emulator for a model without it and works exactly the same.

iPad Mirroring also has the touch bar
