--- Comment #1 from Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer at who-t.net> ---
macOS has the advantage of not having to care about other touchpads and the
ones they have are really good. Most touchpads are somewhere between terrible
and unreliable though with the upcoming switch for many touchpads from PS/2 to
RMI4 in (expectedly) kernel 4.10 this situation hopefully improves.

so far any attempt at using pressure to detect thumbs has failed, each touchpad
is vastly different and we'd have to keep hw-specific overrides for every
touchpad to figure out whether we can use it. because of that, we haven't had a
reliable implementation yet either.
