I have OS Sierra 10.12.5 on a MBP late 2016 – it's got the big beautiful trackpad. I love the trackpad, but I hate how it always clicks when I don't want it to.
I want a trackpad that only clicks when I actually click, not tap.
I have disabled all the extra tapping crap in prefs, including the haptic nonsense and extra clicking whatnot. All boxes are unchecked, and yet if I tap something, it still thinks it's a click.

With the latest software update 10.12.6, the option to disable "tap to touch" works now. It's in the trackpad options. Before the update this did not work. Funny story - after the updating the OS (months ago?) it was still forcing the tapping. When I went into the trackpad options the box was unchecked, which didn't make sense. For fun I clicked and unclicked the box, and now it's fixed. Yay.
