The ability to not be tethered to your computer desk/office is a big one reason to use a laptop. Your computer isn't just for doing work.

I think a good balance is a laptop with a single wire to USB-C/Thunderbolt dock, with external monitors and wired peripherals, ethernet.

If you move around, wired headphones are a PITA, Airpods have pretty much solved wireless audio for me (especially consistent device switching).
