These are not enforced, but they are encouraged.
Rules:
No touch pads? No deal. They're just that good.
What do you use them for? I never touch mine
You want nexus mods? You're gonna want the touch pads. Or even some games that aren't perfectly supported on handhelds or by controllers benefit from touch pads. They allow you to access to menus that controllers dont recognize
The on screen keyboard. Strategy games (civ and stellaris in my case). Desktop mode. Sometimes even 1st/3rd person view games when I'm not in the mood for gyro controls. Browsing (did you know you can usually "spin" your left touch pad iPod-style to scroll?). Stuff like that.
