would you buy a compact laptop that has spacebar touch sensitivity and allows you to adjust input sensitivity, giving it dual purpose (a spacebar and a mouse)+ it has integrated A5 printer in it?

No, it’s been years since I printed anything, and I’m not willing to start now.

I’m coming up on three years with my current employer and never felt the need to even find a printer
I was planning to get a laser printer now that I no longer need color for school projects…. But what would I want to print?

Here’s what I use mine for:

stuff for my kids, like mazes, coloring sheets, etc
stuff for my church, so handouts and whatnot - substitute any other form of charity
labels for gifts for friends/neighbors (esp around Christmas)
receipts, packing labels, etc for stuff purchased online - everything seems to want me to use their app and I refuse
stencils for Halloween pumpkins
instructions for board games if I lose/destroy the originals
details for plane tickets in case my phone dies
lots of photocopies of important documents to keep in the safe

Yup.

I didn’t have a printer when I was single, I’d just go to the library to print schoolwork or whatever. I got it initially for my SO’s immigration paperwork, and kept it for all of the above. We went w/ a B&W laser printer, which has been fantastic for us. If I ever need color prints (e.g. for my kids’ schoolwork), I’ll just go to the library that’s a mile away ($0.10/sheet IIRC).
