Unfortunately, this will not happen. Even if they have it all working:

Above all, Apple wants to show that their hardware is awesome, especially because it really is. Running x86 games or compatibility layers even with great emulation will make that $3000 Mac look half decent at best, against a $1500 gaming laptop. Simply not the story Apple want to tell.

If apple wanted to show that they have good hardware they wouldn't gimp the iPad pro with iOS. They really don't care.

Currently, someone interested in an iPad and needing the power of a MB, will have to buy both.

If they stopped restricting the iPad, those people would only have to buy an iPad.

And as someone without a single interest in an iPad, I would worry that removing the iPad limitations would increase its market-share and lead to Apple reducing even more their interest in the MB, which would be terrible news to me.
