Microsoft was more progressive on this in the Windows 8 era but its customers didn't care. Back then I was going to Hackathons with a $30 Fire tablet and a $5 plastic clip and a $15 mouse and $20 keyboard, I'd remote desktop into a server so in terms of power I had a three-axle dump truck and they had Honda Civics but in terms of looks my tablet was the Civic and Macbooks and gaming laptops looked like the dump truck.
I think the main impact of the "two-in-one" was that the stewardesses on planes had to change their announcements to clarify if you had to stow your Surface tablet on landing. I couldn't get why everybody thought that they had to get a $250 case and keyboard combo for their tablet instead of just using Bluetooth which would let you choose many different keyboards and mice at different price points.
I got sick and tired of "silly boomer, don't you know a phone and a computer are totally different things" because video game emulation proved long ago that Turing complete is Turing complete.
