Our team frequently work when travelling or from home, where they'd prefer not to have a desktop station.
They also have an on-call rota where they need to respond to incidents remotely: I'd rather not chain my on-callers to their work desks throughout the night!
But as a lot of the other comments say, the latest MacBooks are comparable in build performance to pretty decent desktop machines. You can use them for really serious work, in fact you'll find lots of AI hackers are buying up the M2 Max right now because the AI processing it can achieve is well beyond similarly priced desktop hardware, and can happily run open-source models locally.
I'm unsure of your background but laptops as work computers has been the case in all my jobs for the last 10 years, including a stint in Amazon, consultancies, and several start-ups. It's the norm now, and it comes with few downsides.
