The answer is right there: no, most people barely touch the keyboard. Most people are not using laptops as tools to create anything. Most people do nothing but look at Reddit/Facebook endless stream of entertainment and scroll, scroll, scroll. Apple understood this early on and they made the perfect laptop for scrolling, which is now available in Air, Pro and Regular flavors. These aren't for typing.
As long as majority of laptop buyers are content consumers, this is not going to change. However...
It will change. The content consumption has been shifting to mobile: the phones and tablets are taking over. Once a laptop once again becomes primarily a _tool_, decent keyboards (and maybe even tall screens!) will come back, just look at the desktops. As traditional desktops have been 100% abandoned by consumers, the mechanical keyboards and high quality IPS monitors made a smashing comeback, the power users (remaining audience) is willing to pay for nice tools.
