>without
A laptop without a screen, true, since they're built-in. But the fact that desktops require an external screen to be connected actually matters a lot. It is not at all uncommon to use a PC without a screen, e.g. as a home server that you remote into rather than using directly.
>the cable connecting them
Ah I see. Your confusion seems to stem from the fact that you thought you were plugging into the laptop's screen, but the cable is actually plugging into the laptop itself, not its screen. The laptop's display ports are strictly output ports. It's exactly the same as plugging a cable into the PC's GPU ports (while the PC has a screen connected through another port).
