Touch Bar UI on Macs appears outdated

With Liquid Glass in macOS, it's made me wonder something. Also huge thanks to whoever designed the new Liquid Glass in Golden Gate I absolutely love it. But just looking at the Touch Bar. I'm aware the Touch Bar is considered an "outdated gimmick" but it looks SO outdated. And the thing is, there's Touch Bars on the 2022 M2 Macs (and then 2021s and 2020s), which are still completely supported today. When or is the UI going to be updated to match the more recent macOS styles? It just looks so out of place. And it's really useful in situations too - it's just a shame to watch as macOS evolves more and more and the Touch Bar is just left behind...
