I like my iPad a lot, and use it every day. But I'll probably never buy another. The OS is just too limiting. Perhaps they'll eventually decide to let them run MacOS? (Seems like a no-brainer, at least when a keyboard case is in-use, but apparently not.)

Some days I agree with that sentiment. But then I remind myself that I treat my iPad as a task device. In this context, task and app are somewhat synonymous. I've a short list of tasks: Apple TV: for task "watch Apple TV+" Safari: for task "surf internet" Google Maps: for task "surf geography" Animoog Z: for task "make music" While for sure I would love ipadOS to be a real OS, as long as it's the best device for even one task that I do regularly, I'll probably keep buying new ipads - but generally only once every four years, as I get my boost for my tasks from new hardware.
