I think if the options are a Macbook running ARM or an iPad being used like a Mac, I'd prefer the iPad used as a Mac. If we had mouse support and a way to set up a new sandbox to run arbitrary code temporarily (but still securely) like spinning up a Docker instance, we'd be there already. Meanwhile a Macbook running on ARM needs all new software and will necessarily have things it can't run, with the extra negative of not having 10 years of apps built specifically for the platform. Basically, use the platform they already have to its full potential, rather than creating a new platform in a slowing niche.
