After thinking about this for a while, I think they've been making the right move.

However, I'd like to see:

    - Xcode, Final Cut Pro, and other pro apps with full feature-sets designed specifically for iPad (touch, mouse, and keyboard)

    - A new keyboard accessory more like a laptop with a strong base like a Surface Book 3

    - A revamped Terminal.app for Mac and iPad with rendering perf improvements like in iTerm2, Alacritty, and Kitty

    - Virtualization support, or at least something that somehow runs Linux containers

    - Advanced tiling window management... maybe only via keyboard shortcuts

    - Ability to script iPad OS behavior - window management and keyboard remapping

    - Ability to run unsigned CLI and GUI apps from inside a terminal and/or launched via other iOS apps like would be used in iOS Xcode
Bonus: Unlockable bootloader to run alternative OS's like M1 Macs can.

If they did all of these I'd strongly consider buying one as my primary device.
