I like the laptop form factor for when I’m actually working working but in travel mode or for entertainment stuff the touch screen would be nice.

Harder to use a laptop on flights than a tablet for me and I fly fairly often. There’s a ton of great games made for iPads as well.

Would also be nice to use a pen on the touch screen for graphic design and other random stuff I work on.

Essentially reducing the amount of stuff I need by combining them.

I think the downside is that it could hurt iPad sales. They might actually want people to buy both even if they lose some customers because of it. Business wise I’m guessing that’s one of the reasons they haven’t done it.
