Ask HN: Why can't I buy a MacBook that is connected to the cellular network

This just mystifies me. It's such a spectacularly and obviously useful addition, and technically almost trivial to implement, and yet it doesn't exist. My iPad Pro of course can do it, and so can my iPhone, but the totally maxed-out 16" MacBook Pro can't. I'm on the road constantly, and the ability to just use my laptop whenever/wherever I want without having to fuss with a hotspot, and to have graceful failover from wifi (like if I'm at a hotel on a Zoom call) would be worth quite a bit. I know I would pay basically any price for this, and I can't be the only one. And yet.
