I am not talking about 2 in 1 hybrids, were all the important parts are behind the screen already.
For example if you broke your screen, you can just detach it, buy a new one, fix it with some screws and plug it in, like a standard monitor for pc. It considered undesirable by the public, and companies think people won’t buy it? Or is it a way get more profit from repairs/having to buy a whole new device in some cases? Or it is somehow simple more cost-efficient?

The vast majority of people will never break their screen, and the vast majority of those who do would just take it to a repair service, who have the expertise required to replace a screen regardless of whether or not it was designed to be detachable. The only reason PC monitors aren’t a part of the computer (although on an increasing number of models, they *are*) is simply because this is the way it’s always been done, and the PC market is pretty resistant to change, especially considering a lot of people specifically require the somewhat modular nature of a computer system which lets them pick the exact components they want. Plus of course, a computer company (namely apple) can make double the money by selling you two separate products. You can’t do that with laptops, because people already view laptops as a complete product. Separate one into two parts and people will actually notice they’re being ripped off.
Laptop screens aren’t detachable because they simply don’t need to be. Only a very small amount of people would get any benefit from that at all, and those who really need it can just learn the skills required to replace a screen on their own.
