Phones are handheld computers now. Why aren't laptops phones? I know you can use VoIP or tether to a phone, but why don't laptops have LTE or 5G modules and SIM card slots as a standard?

I’ve got a little netbook from ages ago that takes a 3G SIM, I used it occasionally as phones didn’t really do tethering back then, no real need now I can tether.
