I can think of many potential use cases; some are small and others are larger 
and more involved.

I’d love to be able to have WebExtensions be able to add widgets (or even 
simple buttons) to the Touch Bar. It might also be helpful if the developer 
tools could be exposed there, if the developer chooses to do so. I’ve posted a 
long list on one of the Touch Bar related bugs, so I’ll just drop those two 
thoughts here for now. :)
