That's not a universal truth. I've worked with plenty who are.

That's not a universal truth either. Sometimes the device will be a headless controller. In which case a laptop wouldn't always the right form factor. There might be additional hardware that needs supporting, which can be much more complicated with laptops. There might be other requirements (eg environmental constraints) too.
"Industrial" covers a pretty large spectrum of use cases.
- dotancohen 5y agoThank you, I've clarified the comment by adding the word "many". It is a generalization, that holds in many but not all cases.
