Surprised that no one has pointed out the obvious factor driving the poorer keyboards: the drive to make laptops thinner and lighter. With less space to work with, laptop designers have to make compromises. The market has spoken. Thinness and lightness is more important than a good keyboard. (Still hanging on to my 6-year-old 17" MBP. I can see the point of something thinner and lighter, but it's just not my highest priority.)
