OP asked the question "does it make sense to make a laptop with a Raspberry Pi 5". By definition a laptop is a packaged/fully integrated electronic device that has all the bits contained within said package. The main bits being processor board, graphics subsystem, sound subsystem, speaker(s), keyboard, display, battery, and some io ports. It has been this way since laptops appeared, and yes I significantly predate laptops and luggables.
Fully integrated is by definition a ridiculous assumption. Like suggesting building your own single example of a modern high volume production car.

Laptops appeared with those early things like Toshiba T3200 and they certainly were not the fully integrated things we have now. They were batteryless, plug into a wall socket things. Being a fold flat design made them differentiated from the ill fated Osbornes.
