Personally, I hate it. Most of my laptops are non touch: thinkpads, dells. .Even when ram price drops and i could afford the Framework, i would only go for the non pro 13 version. For the ones that came with touchscreen, I disabled it if i can.

Touchscreen just doesnt work for me on a laptop. If i want a touchscreen then i use my tablet or phone.

Even then, it's only useful when you are using a program that doesn't need the keyboard, and only if you don't need to use any other programs at the time.

For example, if you are in class and you want to take notes, a separate tablet works a lot better than folding the laptop.

i find it pretty great for idly browsing the internet or otherwise passively consuming content. reading, videos, social media like you'd do on a phone. they can do well with notes if you don't mind mixing typed and written notes.
