No, that makes total sense. I'm just too lazy/cheap to make or buy a stand, so I was trying to think of a way to mount to my bike. A stand is better than trying to find a way to do a quick release. Right now I'm on rollers (with a fork stand because I'm recovering from major knee surgery and am afraid of falling, which is also why I'm riding inside while it's still nice out), on a wooden platform I've made. I've also made a sort of cart that the rollers can sit on. I plan to makes strips on either side of the wheels of the cart and attach the front and back to the platform with bungees so that I can allow some forward/back motion on the rollers to simulate a more natural ride. That motion would make an external stand for the keyboard challenging to reach at times unless I put it off to the side.
