On my Macbook the buggy synaptics driver gets used. The definition of
%default-xorg-modules indicates libinputs is meant to be the default.
The bug appears to be described on the Arch wiki, I quote
<https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Libinput#Via_Xorg_configuration_file>:
“Tip: If you have libinput and synaptics installed in parallel with
default configuration (i.e. no files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d for
either), synaptics will take precedence due to its higher numeric
order 70- in the default installation directory. To avoid this, you
can symlink the default libinput configuration (40-libinput.conf) to
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ where directory search order precedence over
70-synaptics.conf will take place instead: […]”
The description on the Arch wiki matches the contents of
/gnu/store/q585is6vky5hldb4j878ihqn60j1214a-xorg.conf.d/70-synaptics.conf
Section "InputClass"

Perhaps you could change the numbering.
