In the same way that it's obvious that there should be separate profiles of sound settings for when you have earphones/headphones plugged or not plugged in the computer (a feature that XFCE already has), there should be separate profiles of touchpad settings for when a mouse is connected or not to the computer. If I already have a mouse plugged in my computer, why I want my touchpad to be active, a thing that only will bring annoyance to me¹? And for those who want that both mouse and touchpad are active at the same time, they could have an GUI option to leave both things in this way. I can imagine it in the Mouse and Touchpad settings, a checkbox with the option "Disable touchpad when mouse is plugged in"
