Nope.
This has nothing to do with “hobbyists vs. pro users”. And has nothing to do with “laptops vs. desktop computers”.
80-90+% work at a fixed place - because of speakers, keyboards and other instruments, microphones, recording space etc.
Nobody can tell me that he produces his songs in the train, in restaurants or in the bus shelter… (…) 
the current dongle is super small (barely 1 1/2 cm!) In studios absolutely no problem to handle.
(hint: you also take care of your front door keys or your daily pills!)
I have a second dongle - a second Cubase license at home.
There are enough cheap Cubase deals and crossgrade offer over the year.
Another easy solution is to use Cubase Elements on Laptop, if you don´t like a dongle when you go outdoor.
People spend so much money on plugins, studio acoutic treatmens, instruments, hardware and many more… - but they are stingy with the main tool?? the daw?? 
Cubase is >cheap !
somebody summarized it well: buying Retrologue II, Padshop, GrooveAgent, Magento II, Quadrafuzz 2, the ChannelStrip, Frequency EQ (works like Fabfilter EQ3!) would cost separately 650,- Euros only… without a daw (Cubase!) 
So I do not share the whining. Sorry…
