This pretty much.
The thing is adding touch support to a desktop OS didn't magically make the millions of existing programs touch-optimized for finger input and neither will adding mouse support to the iPad going to magically make the millions of iOS apps play nice with a mouse.
Besides, if you squeeze a motherboard with Intel CPU, storage, etc. into the display portion of a MacBook in order to get a "Mac Pad Pro", that device isn't going to run cool or remain thin, either. Current tech's just not there yet.
