That assumes everyone cares about weight / thinness over of system performance. Apple no longer gives users an option to choice their preference.

It's very easy to find a decently made heavy laptop (jut get any Dell/HP workstation, or gaming Alienware/etc), much harder to find a portable decent laptop. The main laptop's feature is its portability, else is secondary.

So a half inch thinner and a pound or two in weight is the main consideration? I have yet to find any laptop that isn't portable by definition. I have an old ThinkPad that I use sometimes for OpenBSD, and I find it to be very portable.
