It's not a real computer for me unless I can write and run my own software on it.

ok then the iPad Pro qualifies. Continous, Swift playgrounds, python3 and a number of other apps allow you write and run code on the device.

Which rules out Macs or Windows as "real computers" for you, then?

But you can write and run your own software on iOS platform.

Are you referring to non-published (not in the store) software? You can use TestFlight to run software on your own devise, without releasing, and without any modifications to the OS.
