Besides, I don't get the whole "can't do geek things on an iPad". I have an iPad Pro 2017 and I've:

- Run full linux on it (both emulated X86 and via WASM magic, via A-Shell and iSH, both on the App Store)

- Coded Python, C#, Javascript and Lua on it (via Pythonista, Continuous, Scriptable and Codea) _and_ ran the code on the iPad itself

- Wrote blog posts for my old static site and pushed them to a git repo to publish them (via iA Writer for writing and Working Copy for Git)

- Connected via SSH and RDP to "real computers" (via the Remote Desktop app and Blink!, though there's many SSH clients on the AS)

- Used SFTP to transfer files to/from said computers/servers (via Secure Shellfish)

There's also an entire class of apps built upon the Shortcuts model, that allows you to extend and improve upon the Shortcuts (née Workflow, third party now first party) "coding model", which is very powerful and heavily integrated with the device and Apple services - though very different from "traditional" coding.

Is it a limited platform? Yes, absolutely.

Is it a general purpose computer? Yes, most definitely.

Can you do "geeky things" on it? Well, I've been doing them for years.

Can you run a full UNIX-like dev environment on it? Well, yes, with tricks. But why would you want to, when there's plenty of options that do it 1) natively 2) better? Use an iPad for what its purpose is, not for what a Mac's purpose is.
