With how much money they make from iOS vs mac, I don't see how shareholders are doing anything but screaming at them to ditch the expensive legacy platform called mac. As soon as xcode can run on a iPad pro, I think they drop (""sunset"") macos.

How many people on the Apple engineering team are just screaming to work full time using nothing but iPads? How many Apple designers are waiting to get rid of their iMac Pros and switch to using whatever Photoshop version is available on the iPad? Or do you think Apple would give them Windows desktops to work on?

Many Apple engineers aren't particularly happy with the current hardware choices. The teams in charge of hardware don't really care what the software people want.

If I needed a Mac, and the OS+software were the same, I think I'd prefer an iPad Pro with a mechanical keyboard over any of the low-travel laptop keyboards
