Glad you confirmed that...
But it's logical IMO - first thing is, you usually
*sit* on a Desktop - and there's no convenient way, to
hold one of these larger 21-24" Touchscreens "on your lap"
One has to be standing, to use the touch-interface.
So first there's the "ergonomics" which are at play
here. And then there's of course a whole bunch of
more or less irrational reasoning, as for example:
"I hate those thumbprints on my screen, do I really
  have to clean them myself any other day?"
not the least among them. ;-)

Yep, same here - although there are devices which are only
about 100Euro more expensive than their normal counterparts.
I used this model here (the touch worked well enough,
it even came with a small TouchPen-device in the bottom-
right corner):
