I don't have an iPad Pro, but I occasionally use an iPad Air with a bluetooth keyboard. Command-tab for switching between apps is much, much more convenient than the touch interface. Using command-space then typing for launching apps is also more convenient that swiping then typing.
Compared to general content consumption, I think that a large portion of work-like interactions with computers or tablets involves keyboards rather than either pointing devices or touch interfaces.
I don't entirely disagree that there remains a large difference between the types of device for now. However, I do think the keyboard is a more significant differentiator than the type of pointing. For example, whenever I am doing much with Excel I use Windows in VirtualBox, because even though it probably cuts the CPU performance in half, I can use the Excel-for-Windows keyboard shortcuts and combinations rather than having to constantly shift to a mouse or trackpad.
