Apple's iPadOS 19 at WWDC is rumored to be a more macOS-like update, with boosts to multitasking and productivity potentially making the tablet even more of a workhorse.
They need to just give us macOS on an iPad already and be done with it. But with iPads costing as much as a Windows computer, and people willing to buy a new iPad AND Mac computer, sometimes yearly, I can’t exactly blame Apple for not doing it and instead blurring the lines with mixed features.
They wouldn’t have to go that far. Windows 10 was able to correct a lot of the mistakes of Windows 8 doing that while still allowing for users to have a desktop experience, such as that Start Menu screen you could bring up for a better touch experience.
Users have been begging Apple for a touch screen Mac before the iPad with companies even making touch screen MacBooks as well as touch screen peripherals. Especially with a lot of Mac users being artists or developers who would benefit from having touch abilities natively in macOS.
The demand is there. But the real reason Apple won’t is because it’ll cut into their profits.

Or maybe they are different computing styles and just trying to smash the two together windows 8 style is a bad idea.
