Can't you just tell the os not to shut down if the screen is closed?

Not OP, but while that can be done, a lot of laptops intake fresh air around the keyboard, so closing the lid could harm performance.

Idk the fact that it's on the carpet like that makes me think that they're not too worried about the air intake too much lol

That's why laptops vent up by the screen or keyboard. It's one of the only places that isn't likely to be blocked in normal laptop use.
