Just because people love it, doesn’t mean that it can’t be better. It also doesn’t mean that current way of doing things is efficient.

Add a proper native terminal, proper virtualization framework á la what we have on Mac, side loading and third party browser support with plugins and you’ll shut up 99% of complaining users here.

Right, let me use my couple billion change in R&D to create iPad compatible system with all that I’ve mentioned before.

They sell like hot cakes, 50+ millions of them per year According to google there are 25m software devs in the world, even if half (extremely generous) of them would buy a new ipad every single year (extremely generous) if they implemented what you ask it isn't going to change much for apple, ipads are like 10% of their revenues. So at best we're talking of 3% revenue increase > 99% of complaining users here. 99% of not much is nothing for apple, they're already printing money too fast to know what to do with it
