I could see that. My work machine is a 15" rMBP which is mainly used hooked to a keyboard and monitor. Even when not plugged in I enjoy coding on it. Thing was, it was just big enough that I disliked lugging it around everywhere, back & forth to home, when traveling, etc.
For me my rMB is more for personal and light remote work purposes but that winds up being not dissimilar to your engineering mgmt persona you describe and I find it great for all of those reasons.

I've had dozens of coworkers over the years who don't take their laptop home (much to my dismay, especially as some were on-call) due to the weight and size of the 15". They also barely would take them to meetings, so I don't get why they just didn't request an iMac. When I still used the rMBP for daily work, I got mine down to two cables (Thunderbolt / Power) despite having two near 4K displays (LG 34" TB2 monitors) and a bunch of accessories plugged in, but the hassle just wasn't worth it. So when I switched jobs, I finally owned up that my needs had changed and decided to try the rMB with a single 4K display (27" LG USB-C w/ PD). Honestly best decision I'd made in a long time for hardware. Takes getting used too, but for anyone else in a similar position (aka director/VP/CTO roles), I highly recommend it.
