Well, Thunderbolt 3 now explicitly supports them (previously Intel wouldn't certify for what appeared to be non-technical reasons), so it might actually catch on.
I don't expect it to be cheap; but even if the chassis is a few hundred dollars, if you can reuse them for three generations of GPU and laptop, it's probably worth it.

So far they have largely been built into monitors (by Sony) which gives different obsolescence profile.
A decent CPU and adequate graphics is usually all I need in a laptop while traveling, but it would be nice to be able to plug in a more beefy GPU at home to play games and drive more monitors at higher resolutions.
