I travel for work professionally. 99% of the time I’ll travel exclusively with a backpack to carry my essentials. Its very hard to yank a backpack off someone when both straps are on, it’s very ergonomic, it frees my hands to hold my phone/boarding passes/passport/food, etc etc.
Backpacks are the objectively superior travel and everyday bag, honestly.

How can you fit your EDC and your clothes in a single backpack ?
(I’m genuinely asking)

For a 2-3 day trip i don’t need many clothes. 3 pairs of underwear, socks, and my work polos don’t take much space and easily pack around my laptop and hand tools. I’ll usually re-wear my slacks.
Any longer and I’ll pack more, but usually use the hotel laundry to cut down on total bulk.

Get a bigger backpack. I also assume they’re talking about 3-4 day trips at most, so “clothes” is just shirts and underwear (maybe a pyjama). Add a small wash bag (pro tip: get those small airplane bottles for shampoo) and you’re good to go, with plenty of space for a laptop, charger, phone charger, wallet etc.

Easily, if it’s a large enough backpack. For 3 days of clothing, it doesn’t even need to be large. I mean what do you need, some assortment of care products (available in small packs, usually, so don’t take a ton of space), maybe a razor and hairbrush, toothbrush (negligibly tiny anyway) and then 3 days of clothing don’t take that much space unless you change your pants (not the british kind) or sweatshirt every day. And even then a large-ish backpack could fit it.
I went on a 5 day trip with just an average size backpack and laptop bag, and that included bringing the laptop. And headphones. Clothing doesn’t take that much space if you fold it and compress a bit.

When I was on the travel circuit I always did a carry-on and a backpack. The backpack was usually full of job related equipment so there wasn’t much room for clothing etc. The carry-on was enough for trips of up to 2 weeks.
As I was in agricultural fields and hot temps everyday in all sorts of countries, full changes of clothing was required plus at least one laundry stop before I came home(phytosanitary rules and all). My carry-on often weighed in at 40lbs or more on those trips.
