However, this is not a reason to prohibit running Mac OSX on an iPad.   Users should have a choice as to which OS they run.

I have nothing against the iPad OS.   It's a great solution for many (but not all) users.   Why not allow users to choose which OS they are running?    

The iPad OS can be the default, but please allow power users to install OSX.  iPad apps already work inside of Mac OSX, so no functionality is lost.  

An iPad with an M4 processor, 16GB RAM, 2TB SSD, Thunderbolt 3, and a Magic Keyboard Folio (Keyboard and trackpad) would make a damn fine portable Mac.

Giving users options what to do with their iPad may sound great at first - flexibility! Choice! - but it makes for a lousy product where you essentially are diluting f the whole idea behind it and creating a Frankenstein product that kinda competes with their laptops.

Apple’s vision makes sense. But to me that also means their Pro offerings don’t make sense pricing wise. This is how I express that with my wallet: I buy mid to high-end macOS product, and low end iPadOS product.
The iPad’s promise and associated use-cases to me excel under the $700 price range.

That's a deep "back in my day" comment.

I deleted a comment because it was going to become the talking point of this thread and create an argument around it. We're not going to tolerate posts that suggest there's an "invasion" or violent riots in LA. Take the propaganda elsewhere.

Actions of a few individuals capitalizing on chaos to loot are not the problem. Illegal actions by the United States President against protesting citizens is the problem. Going after people working at Home Depot or attending court about their impending citizenship is the problem. Zip tying children and hiding your badge while performing inhumane actions is the problem.

Suggesting otherwise is not only offensive and stupid, it's off topic. So unless you're here to talk about Apple boarding up an Apple Store after a looting, keep it to yourself.

Moderation is to keep things in order, not to try to manipulate a viewpoint and silence other views. If you are going to push the "CNN." 'CBS," and "ABC" talking points, then you should have the "Fox," 'Sky", and "BBC" talking points to balance. Otherwise you continue to turn this place into a leftists echo chamber.  unbelievable. 

I can help you out! Here is FOX News host Jessica Tarlov talking about Trump "If it walks like a dictator, and talks like a dictator, maybe it's a ..."

Awesome, now we have balanced talking points.

A side note, that you see your news outlets as provider of your "talking points" means you don't know what news sources are and you don't actually consume any news. You are just looking to be told what to think, see why we call it a cult?
