> They don’t do it though for fear of canibilising MacBook sales. Or perhaps because the OS is not optimized for a pointing device?

They did add mouse support in iOS 13. Unless you mean something more than they added? https://www.imore.com/how-use-mouse-or-trackpad-your-iphone-or-ipad https://www.imore.com/how-use-mouse-or-trackpad-your-iphone-...

  It's basically just touch input controlled with a mouse. It's not really what one wants or expects when one thinks of mouse support. It's one of my few disappointments with iPadOS (next to multitasking still being a pain in the ass after all the changes they made with iOS 12).

    Agreed, you can’t drag most HTML+javascript components in an app, making 80% of modern SAAS apps unusable.
