    It is called iPadOS Pro.

      Are you referring to the iPad Pro or is there an actual iPadOS Pro I've never heard about?
      - pjmlp 11mo ago
        Of course I am referring to what millions of people buy today, many of whom that is their only computing device.
        lawlessone 11mo ago
        Good for them, but what's the relevance, are you saying because people buy it's moral?

  But you don't run iOS on desktop computers. If MacOS went locked down like iOS people would throw fits.

        Actually, yes: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25074959 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25074959 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24838816 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24838816 And this one got cancelled after a huge public outcry: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28309202 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28309202. Also, Apple never said that it's fully cancelled.

    That is what iPadOS Pro is for. The sales prove there is enough happy people, even with the complaints regarding some of its limitations.

  So what? That's why we don't buy Apple products and never have.
