because the form factor of a laptop is better for typing. detachable key boards are awkward to carry and set up.

also lots of computer tasks require very precise clicks that mice do better with. touchscreens really need another interface and the keyboard only solves some of the issues. a solution here is to carry a stylus..

but if you’re walking around with a ipad, a key board, and a stylus, the laptop is simpler

I think you miss the setup. The keyboard is for being on the go. If I'm at a desk, I'm using my mechanical keyboard, not my shitty laptop one. Yeah, macs are better than most, but a laptop keyboard is still a laptop keyboard.
