The butterfly keyboard was very complex, required very tight manufacturing standards and was really only relevant in the context of a square laptop (4:3 aspect ratio). By the time you're making a widescreen laptop it become pointless.
Now, you might ask, what if I wanted to make a netbook based on the iPad's 4:3, 2048x1536 that is common, high-quality and relatively cheap? Then you'd be better off doing something like the IBM S30, which requires no extra complexity and allows you to leverage other cheap, commodity parts.
