Seriously! The way to avoid Apple out-competing you on their own platform is to stop locking yourself in to Apple's ecosystem.

Several products already exist for this purpose, including Duet Display, one of the Splashtop products (can't remember which). I'm sure there are others.

It made reading this article a bit off-putting because they seem to imagine they were the sole bearers of such a product; they were not and never have been.

You’ve also been able to hack stuff like this together using VNC.

I also used a VNC client to turn my iPhone into a trackpad my mac... slightly unrelated but no notable latency and similar tech used.
