It is not currently possible to detect when a user lifts a finger (and puts a finger down) on a macOS touchpad. View codepen, move finger around the div, pause, and lift finger up. No event fired.

We are missing a lower level API for macos touchpad. Native apps have this ability, like NSTouch. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nstouch
