How many people need a device that's both portable AND needs an external GPU? That's incredibly niche.

"has thunderbolt or full-fledged USB4" shouldn't be niche.

The nice thing about an eGPU is your portable becomes much more portable, since portables with reasonable GPUs are heavy, big, and hot. The bad thing about eGPUs is they're ~$250 on top of the GPU cost, which is a little to close to a second desktop PC.

I gave up and went with cloud (ShadowPC).

Irrelevant given how easy it is to do. In macOS it's literally the equivalent of a feature flag.
