Pine are struggling to source 15" and smaller displays at the minute, I don't think sourcing larger panels will be easier.
I think what could be of value in this space is a large open source display that could have an existing board attached to the back of it. Something that turns an SBC into a desktop. I think they would get tonnes of customers for such a device, even those people using other SBCs.
To really get Pine's interest though I think it would need to offer other features (the ability for the community to hack on it), such as the webcam you suggest, touch screen, port extension, speakers, WiFi + antenna, etc.
Still as I suggested before, I think manufacturing is by far the largest hurdle right now - even if Pine did want to take up this project idea. I believe they currently look to condense their product line rather than expand it.
