You should let Apple in on that definition so they’ll stop marketing and selling the iPad as a general computing device.

It is for a subset of the market that only uses the web and a few apps. Otherwise, no, and Apple knows it which is why they are sticking their ARM silicon in Macs and continuing to evolve MacOS.
