Portfolio looks good so far, nothing strays to far
Make and SBC that people can add all sorts to, make adding things easy (builds a great 3rd part based, which in turn keeps things interesting). Keep it like that as the formula works, to make it better each time.
Make a CM because people want to integrate a Pi SBC but in their own way.
Make a microcontroller, because the Zeros just are not going to cut it anymore, can sell loads and let others expand it beyond the Pico education/demo board, it worked for CMs..
Means great advertising and coverage from other too.
Both get picked up by industry from previous products, keeps the level of entry low and reasonably easy for medium/small industry, upstarts, unique ideas.
(Industry just being not home users, people using it for work)
Excellent support, tools and educating and keeping it supported.
Peripherals,
expand where education and ideas go, helps Foundation out with it original goals when this first started, brings about sensors and how HATs might work creates a standard, add cameras, even the Zero had a rapid upgrade to cameras (why did the first not have it, timing or cost?)
Keep them supported so it can be relied upon (unlike some other HATs that came and went but where pretty good and still would be, looking at you VoiceHAT)
Get people hooked.
Make a touch screen for simple embedded use*
Make a keyboard and mouse, keeps the style, can make a themed bundle kit.
Make Cameras, who doesn't want a camera, plus expends tech and ideas.(I assume business must be big enough for them to keep making them, or Sony helps out so Sony can sell other Sony cameras as they get exposure).
Make the little things, A2 SD cards, M2 SSD, you, me, industry can rely on them, takes the guess work out of it, similar to the old WiFi, you know it will work and be supported as it goes. Ease of access to using the Pi.

What would a laptop/tablet bring that would take it another level up that 3rd parties haven't tried? How would it help people?
At the moment I can't think it would.
It'll be heavy, large and inefficient.
It can't compete with the mass market versions that already do it well.
It would have a Linux customizable OS but laptop have that anyway.
Tablets not so much, how would the GPIO help anyone in tablet form over a keyboard Pi and travel monitor.
----
Anyway, nice to see the flurry of peripherals.
I might be right in assuming many of the more original or exotic parts, BrickHAT, SenseHAT and Camera all came out at first from some internal enthusiast wanting to do it?
Who wanted the touch screen to bring that out many moons ago?
Rather than today's, filling the little gaps and update to products.
P.S. The hardware page is getting to be a very long page to scroll down now![;)]( "Wink")
