Personally, I was shocked that they did the thing that people have been asking them to do for years. I expected them to continue to dig their heels in and ship another halfstep / half-assed measure.

A small box you can stick into 3 different cases, one looking like a laptop, another like a tablet and another like a phone, can.
Or a phone you stick into the former two, like a dock station. One could do this with Ubuntu Phone, sadly they failed.
One can argue that the case of a MacBook and its screen and the keyboard account for much of its cost, but I think the fact itself that it’s a single device with different UIs would make many situations more convenient. No need to synchronize files - it’s already the same storage medium. No need to charge 3 separate devices. No need to stop your work when switching.
And yeah, I still think the “computer” part costs a lot.
