Intel and Samsung are getting ready for 'slidable' PCs
Samsung Display and Intel are working on "slidable" PCs. During Intel's Innovation keynote today, Samsung Display CEO JS Choi appeared onstage to show off a prototype PC that slides from a 13-inch tablet into a 17-inch display.
"We're announcing the world's first 17-inch slidable display for PCs," said Choi. "This device will satisfy various needs for a larger screen and portability as well." Samsung Display has chosen to implement a sliding (rather than foldable) technology for its flexible PC displays, and Choi appeared to indicate that "foldable is gone" on PCs for now.

IIRC, a roll-up piano keyboard appeared on Star Trek Next Generation. It was like "something I picked up visiting somewhere" or "something I got from a trader". I think they nailed it. The roll-up piano was a novelty. It appeared in that one episode. I don't recall anything else on the ship that routinely rolled up or folded. Most of the ship's interfaces were touch screens, which is what's on the real-life Dragon Capsule (with backup mechanical buttons for critical systems).
So sure, if they want to make foldable, slideable, roll-up interfaces as a novelty or niche and it pencils out at lower sales, why not? Indeed, most of us don't want it.
