Ray, Bloody close with your thoughts, Can see that the command key is like a fail safe option, if it was just power then you might turn it off rather than shutting the machine down if it crashs.
Still it goes to show they aren’t sitting doing nothing Apple are actually putting time in to thinking about how to keep features but using other ways of initialising or enabling them.

From the look of their answer to you, Scot, seems like what they actually went for was pressing the command key plus the tripple press of touch ID. IN other words, you press and hold down the command key and while doing so, you tripple press the touch ID.

See the comments from Apple accessibility sent to me just 2 minutes ago. This sounds better and better and I have to compliment Apple in such a quick turn around on this question.

Touch Bar works with VoiceOver, Zoom and Switch Control. For VoiceOver users, Touch Bar uses VoiceOver gestures users already know and love from iOS to navigate and control the information on display in the Touch Bar. To turn VoiceOver on or off, hold the Command key and triple-press the Touch ID button.
