In the year that I had a Surface, I can count on 2 hands the number of times that I used the touch screen. Out of all those times that I used touch screen functionality, the majority of the times were done inadvertently when I was trying to get something off the screen. I'm willing to bet a lot of people won't/don't care about the touch screen, they just want something cheap.
I have a Yoga, I use the stylus more than I type.
Not everyone has the same use case. For me, Apple has never made a product that comes close to my use case.
100%
All the touch screen does is make it top heavy and the hinge less effective at damping the movement.
A touch screen by itself doesn't noticably increase the weight of the screen. It's only when you put everything else up there that it becomes heavier.
