A 2TB 13" iPad with a Magic Keyboard is more expensive than a 2TB 14" MBP with double the RAM.

They may sell a capable enough iPad but it doesn't make a lot of financial sense unless they closed all the gaps.

Yeah, but it's not a monolithic code block.

I suspect there are dozens of tools, that are years old, have very few folks that know how they work, and probably only work on Mac.
