Every time I look at laptops they always seem to have an i7 6700hq. Why is this? I want something with at least the performance of an i5 6600k.

Heat. There is only so much heat that can be dissipated in a laptop case.
More performance = more heat.

Secondarily, battery life.
More performance = shorter battery life. And that's why you buy a laptop...to run on the battery.
