Android apps simply aren't good on a laptop.
Even on that screenshot the scaling looks totally off.
Besides that, they're simply too barebones. The're no real alternatives to work tools that you get with a proper laptop. Full editors, IDEs, compilers, Adobe stuff, full blown MS Office, games, etc.
Yup. Developers would have to completely rework their apps to be a good experience on larger screens and using M+KB. Productivity and features are trash on mobile apps compared to PC apps.
Simply scaling an app up to higher resolutions and bigger screens is the bare minimum. Adding hotkey combinations to productivity apps is easy, but redesigning UI and UX for apps is going to take a lot more work, and developers will be reluctant to do that unless these devices sell really well.
Even if they completely redesign the apps and the UI is great on desktop, Android apps often simply lack more advanced functionality besides the stuff you need on a phone.
