I also felt that the "plug in to environmental monitors" wasn't really that great of a solution. Also, there are some laptops that are really light these days.
And you make a good point about backup devices.

I'm sure there's security people more paranoid than me too that would shudder at the notion of plugging into random devices
There's surprisingly cheap off-lease enterprise laptops that go for just a couple hundred bucks on eBay that are perfect for travel laptops... no need to spend big on a surface or macbook.

Where are all these open monitors you can just plug into? Seems most hotels these days have the TV's hard wired into something so its not easy to access. Then what, re-arrange furniture to actually use it comfortably?
What conferences have breakout tables with monitors for demos/collab?
What coffee shop or airport lounge has stray monitors about? My only experience has been empty cubicles at best.
What's your backup comms if something happens to your phone?
What are you really saving vs < 3lb laptop that charges via USB-c?
