Why can’t companies like Apple (AppleSilicon) or other ARM chip making companies just make really big chips that would outperform anything and everything we currently have? Disregarding battery life and heat issues, what about a laptop that is only one mega chip that takes up all the inside?

One thing I would point out is chip yield. The larger and more complex a chip is, they higher the likely failure rate during manufacturing and the lower the yield.
I.e. a CPU today might have a 70% yield. This means that 30% of the chips you make aren’t usable. The larger and more complex you make a chip, the lower the yield.
