When I bought my new laptop, the store was 95% Window 8. And ZERO had a touch screen. I don't get why laptops don't come with a touch screen by default these days.

Probably because most people prefer /not/ to touch their screens, making the screens greasy and cloudy and making their shoulders hurt. Undoubtedly, touch screens increase cost, increase weight and decrease battery life, as well. In other words, there's /very little market demand/.
