Laptop includes a display and battery that a desktop doesn’t generally include. A desktop can be sold without input devices as well, which are always included with the laptop.
[edit] I suppose you could cross-shop an M2 MacBook Air 13″ and an M2 Mac Mini
An 8-core CPU, 10-core GPU Mac Mini with 8GB of RAM and 512 GB SSD is $799
An 8-core CPU, 10-core GPU MacBook Air 13″ with 8GB of RAM and 512 GB SSD is $1199
The latter has a 13.6″ display, a webcam, a battery, a built in keyboard and touchpad that the former doesn’t have (though the former does have a few more ports on it, and those certainly have some value)
