Biggest reason is that macOS is designed as a pointer interface and iPadOS/iOS is designed as a touch interface. You could argue that with the Magic Keyboard and Trackpad, the iPad is well suited for pointer input and I wouldn't disagree. However, macOS with touch as an input option would be atrocious, in my view. Rather than opening the door for touch input on macOS, they should bring iPadOS closer to a desktop-class, touch-first experience.

- indymike 6y agoI have a Dell XPS-15 laptop. 15" 4K touchscreen/tablet. It is fantastic. Gnome, KDE, Windows all work fine with the touch screen and even active stylus. Come to think of it, MacOS has fantastic support for Wacom tablets, so I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be a terrible experience with the same kind of display that my Dell has.
