Problem is that many, if not most, iOS apps would have a terrible user experience with a laptop touch screen. Most apps have swipes that assume a phone or tablet form factor and virtually all games expect you to use your thumbs. The better play is to have iOS developers update their apps to better work on a laptop. I don’t see how a touch screen will improve this.

I don't really want to run iOS stuff on my laptop, but I'm sure there are times it would come in handy. They would be terrible, but functional. They would be terrible, but functional.

They would only be terrible if they are not properly updated for a laptop experience. The Overcast podcast player is a good example of an iOS app that works great as a Mac app too.
