Indeed, developing directly on the smartphone would be ridiculous. But, to be honest, I have similar feelings to developing directly on a laptop. There's no position I can place it at to have an ergonomic position; I always end up feeling like I'm hunched over a tiny screen. Which is why, when I get into work, I dock it and use an external monitor + kb/m. So why can't I use my phone as that intermediary 'compute brick' I bring around? Sure, it's significantly less performant, and it would require incredible development work to make a mobile OS than can transition seamlessly into desktop. Well, that's exactly why no one does it.

It really wouldn't require that much work. Just expose the unix tooling these devices are running under the hood anyway. Expose the actual file system not a toy one. All of these complaints kind of go away when you simply jailbreak your iphone, expose the filesystem for yourself, and can do whatever thanks to the built in unix ecosystem the device already runs, but walls off from you normally until its jailbroken.
