For me frequent usecase for ESC is to hide some popup that you opened by accident.

Like "Save As" dialog / rename file / Purchase SublimeText License / etc. In macOS you can hide many types of dialogs with ESC



That's fine but you can still do that without the physical key, can't you? I'm still able to escape out of dialogs like that without needing a physical key.


You can also type on a smartphone without a physical keyboard...
