I never really thought about it before, but multitouch is actually legit for 3D modeling tools, maybe even better than a desktop. On a Mac, you need to hold modifier keys (or buy a multi-button mouse) to do everything you want with the viewport, but on touch you can orbit, pan, zoom, and multi-select very easily. If you special-case the stylus too, like I am, it feels very powerful.

Almost all of this extends to spatial computing, though visionOS struggles a bit with two-hand gestures
