Would android apps be a good fit for desktop? Most of them do not even work well on a tablet and I think they would scale very badly to even touchscreen laptops.

I doubt that most developers would do any effort to have their apps "responsive".

Many of them would make great desktop widget kind of apps, such a mini music player, or weather app.

I wish I could run the Trello app on my touchscreen laptop, if only so I could drag cards to the top to archive them (for some reason the web UI doesn't offer that). I wish I could get Google's suggested pages there. And for a lot of Amazon's apps, the Windows version feels like an out-of-date port of the Android version where I'd be better off running the Android version.
