We provide both top of line laptops and iPad Pros with trackpad keyboard case (set up for dev using 10 years of learning best patterns) to our SWEs, and depending on WR destination, many opt for travel with solely iPad, suggesting whatever pain in the rear they are, for many the pain is easily outweighed by benefits. Maybe that's because little of the above comment seems fully accurate, perhaps stemming from thinking one should be working as root on any device. If you know how to dev while avoiding need for root, you likely can iterate into how to do this. Separately, terminals may be dumb, but mosh, IDEs using code servers, git, and other distributed computing patterns that can be good ideas (depends on nature of work and level of collaboration) no matter your UI device seem wise. Even on an airgapped desktop, dev containers may be wise. TL;DR: Inability to dev on iPad Pro 13 5G with trackpad keyboard case (and USB-C dock or 4K second screen if you like) may be more cultural than technical.
