IMHO it's simple ergonomics + economics.

A laptop screen is usually closer to you, thus easier to see. My 17" screen is almost 2 feet away, and (wih my glasses on) I can barely read it sometimes at 1280x1024.

Anything smaller would add no value, and only up the price. The reason to do it on a laptop is to make it a more credible "desktop replacement", and therefore people will pay more for that.
