I think that since they manufacture so many other touch devices that the software, data and or expertise in designing those devices transfers over into touchpads.

Apple had the best trackpads in the industry before they made the iPhone. That company just values good laptop design; after all, they invented it.

They invented good laptop design. Up until 2011, most laptops were shitty clones of the PowerBook Duo in terms of design. After 2011, most laptops became shitty clones of the MacBook Air.

Yup. The Powerbook 100 series is the first laptop with the classic clamshell design we all know.
