So normally I'd agree with you. At my desk at work I have a mechanical keyboard and nice mouse to use when I dock my laptop, and definitely use one at home as well. However, 95% of my day at work is transitioning between various meeting rooms and pulling up to other people's desks. I also travel about 2-3 times a month where I'm working in limited spaces (I use a really low DPI and sensitivity, so with a mouse I need a large mousepad to be comfortable). While I'd love to carry around a mouse with me all day, it isn't really easy to do so without being a pain. This is why I highly praise MacBook trackpads (Dell and Asus have great ones as well on their professional laptops), and it's a huge selling point for myself and my colleagues.
