The whole point of a laptop .... it's reason for being, at least
initiallly .... was portability.

Increasing screen sizes negate that, by definition. At some point,
someone says "STOP!".

I do not believe that there is a sufficiently large market for a 20-inch
laptop to justify it's production and sale. And I suspect that laptop
makers feel the same way. Personally, I am of the opinion that even 17"
is too big, but obviously there are 17" laptops and some people do buy
them. As far as I know, however, that is as big as they come.

I'm thinking of buying a big laptop to use as a
portable "TV"

Yup, a portable "TV" powered by (internal) Li-ion batteries and also can
be use as a computer.
Although a 23" touch screen all in one is 'portable' also but it can't
be powered by (internal)batteries.

They come bigger than that, I have an 18.4" Acer and I'm very happy
with it.

I am also a proud owner of these beasts.....
AFAIK the largest laptop screen currently available is 18.4, I
remember there used to be 20 inch one from HP IIRC but it did not
last long....
I don't see the point of desktop replacements with screen bigger than
18 inches....
