Don't buy a Google Pixel. I'll never get one again because of this. They wanted 250£ to even look at it so I got a new cheap Samsung out of spite.

Not that I particularly want to play it, but the Fortnite requirement has stopped me from installing Mint across some computers for kids for this reason as well.
Our enemy is both weak and strong.
It's about the angle, you cannot orient it towards your pads as much on a laptop.
I've convinced some if my girlfriends to switch as they have white versions and Blackwidows are fairly cheap on Ebay (£50-75). :) They like them as they're heavy writers.
I use softer keycaps, some are resin! I also have the back propped up like you mentioned with the built in lifts. I also have carpel tunnel so I don't want to cram my hands into a small space and it's OK to be slow sometimes. And a good wrist rest is key.
I've switched out keycaps to make them comfortable for me. You can customise them. I find it very hare to type on a laptop keyboard for a long time and it fucks up my posture.
Windows Debloat Tool:

I run this on any new Win install. I also suggest Portmaster so you know where your data is going (I use it on Linux too!)

However, if you can, it is really worth switching to Linux. Linux is built as a tool by the people using the tool. Windows is making a product. Enough said.
If people would like to "try Linux before you buy," check out DistroSea. It spins up a virtual machine of whatever distro and flavour you choose to try.

There are a surprising and growing number of Linux compatible tools. Software is usually why people have a hard time switching. If you're dependent on Photoshop/Adobe, check out:

This site shows how well games run on Proton (compatibility tool) and people offer solutions to get them running if there's any snags.
