Though it's a bit weird as the Pinebook Pro, at least for now (until the regional online shops with customer support open), is geared toward more geeks/hacker/devs community and those tend to be more text-mode and keyboard-heavy leaning...
It seems to me that Pine64 hasn't designed and engineered the case, the keyboard and the touchpad for PineBook Pro entirely from scratch. Most probably, already existing designs have been only slightly tweaked to fit PineBook Pro, which gave us a "modern" touchpad and a "modern" keyboard.
However, engineering the keyboard from scratch, for example, would surely make the PineBook Pro more expensive.
