Same. I get it if you are super mobile and need things that only a desktop OS can do. But I work at the same desk most days. I've had to work on a laptop and I hate it. If a job makes me I can deal with a clamshell laptop where the laptop is hidden away somewhere (but I can't deal with having a laptop keyboard / trackpad just sitting there unused, the laptop must be closed).
On top of that, even though I know that the traditional desktop OS metaphor was built on and for tiny low res screens--I just don't think Windows/GNOME/KDE/macOS/whatever work on screens smaller than 20" or so. A 12.9" iPad Pro is my main mobile computer and I mostly just use full-screen apps with very occasional split screen--and I think adding overlapping windows beyond a few widget-type things like QuickNote to iPadOD is a bad idea. Meanwhile, on a desktop I do the classic Mac tons of overlapping windows thing and the kinds of things I can't do on my iPad I wouldn't do on a laptop either (like, run a Plex server).
