It's you who don't get it....
Canonical themselves explained clearly from the outset that it was a concept series, the real drive was to come with their range of Ubuntu phones through hw partners.
They are a sw/services vendor, get that through your head...
Now that range of Ubuntu phones will have similar "docking" abilities*, but comparatively speaking they would've been far more hobbled for that purpose.
Especially with the first version of Ubuntu Touch coming Q1, which will still be based strictly around X/Xmir.

*& that's even putting aside solid arguments out there that such convergence devices are simply "flavor of the mth", & little more than gimmicks, at least for the foreseeable future
