Inertia? Think about it. The vanes on a heatsink are there to increase the surface area to expell the heat. Is that more or less surface area than the metal bottom of the keyboard? I think it's likely quite close to the same amount of area.
Maybe so, but given how keyboard flex, I doubt you get good thermal conductivity. I also doubt that the thin flat metal on a keyboard would carry away as much heat as a vaned heatsink.
