I don't disagree with you, but there are loads of technical issues for laptops in the range between 100W and 240W where it just isn't feasible to do it this way.

240W is 48V and creates massive amounts of heat, which is difficult to deal with in a small laptop.
You also run into problems with cable length if you want to connect to a dock and have that power with high bandwidth data transfer. Longer cables makes the bandwidth fall of a cliff, and the ones that follow the specs are insanely expensive.So I'd say yeah, it would be nice, but we're not there with the tech yet for more power hungry laptops, sadly.
