I'd kill for an iPad that runs macOS. But using an iOS device as a main computer? It's a hard sell given you are only allowed to use App Store apps. So much so

I'd kill for an iPad that runs macOS.
But using an iOS device as a main computer? It's a hard sell given you are only allowed to use App Store apps. So much software I want to use (e.g. most free software apps, the Steam back-catalogue, many older Windows apps) is not available on iOS and never will be. Also, of course, you aren't allowed to do software development on an iOS device.
Maybe the new generation that's only known life inside the walled garden will be able to live within its constraints, even if they'll be impoverished in some ways. I think that's what Apple's counting on. I hope they don't succeed.
