I do think it makes little sense and it’s a message board, sometimes things will be said directly. If a preference is not rational and has negative consequences then it’s worth challenging. Who knows, maybe somebody will realize that squinting at the text on a 13-in screen while looking down and having their hands in unnatural positions for many hours each day is not great for them. I never said that you can’t have a laptop to take with you. I’m talking about development like the OP was - where things like compile times matter and where you can very likely remotely access your desktop if you want to show things to others.
