Then why are they doing: * ARM macbooks * iOS Apps on macOS * iOS look-and-feel on macOS * iOS features like Control Center, Widgets on macOS Each one of these might be justifiable in isolation, but viewed as a whole it paints another picture.

> * ARM macbooks Superior performance characteristics and vertical integration. > * iOS Apps on macOS > * iOS look-and-feel on macOS > * iOS features like Control Center, Widgets on macOS Because there's changes in how people want their computers to look and be used. New (and old!) users expect their Macs to work in a familiar way. Developers want to share their app infrastructure. There's absolutely zero reason for Apple to "merge" iOS and macOS together. I don't understand what people think Apple's endgame would be there, what nefarious advantage they would possibly get out of it.

* ARM notebooks provide higher performance with less power usage and substantial cost savings. * This enables easily running iOS apps on MacOS, so why not allow it? * Control and Widgets are useful UI concepts and Widgets have been around forever.

iOS gets some things right where macOS gets them wrong. That doesn’t mean that they’ll merge the operating systems, when they literally just split up iOS and iPadOS to allow more depth of differences between those platforms.
