Because laptops are stolen / lost infrequently enough to allow
replacement measures to be non-trivial. Just because IT can replace
your laptop & its contents doesn't mean it's cheap, easy, quick, or
even possible when you are overseas.
If I have to replace the laptop at the far end of every flight I
take, the procedure must be essentially idiot proof and
instantaneous. That requires a lot more time, effort, money,
resources, etc.
