If Apple had the appetite to let that M1 on the iPad run macOS I'd buy that in a second, just for the ability to develop.
The iPad is already so versatile, adding the ability to do my job or just to update a small side project every now and again (waiting at the airport etc).
I understand the hesitation in doing so, but its so frustrating. Given that the iPad now has a keyboard and mouse if you want it & a CPU that we know is fast, just unleash it!

I'd kill for an iPad Pro running macOS that has an attachable magic keyboard + trackpad.
So basically my current 13" MBP M1 with a detachable touch screen.
Main problem for me would be the iPad's single port.

Next, they just need to get the Apple pencil working on the MacBook touchscreen... :)
Apple has targeted iPadOS to casual computer users who mainly consume content and require light content generation and editing capabilities, and as it turns out there's a HUGE market for that. But it's not for me. I'm a developer by profession and my hobbies are music and photography. All of these push the limits of what iPadOS is capable of delivering - but MacOS delivers with aplomb.
And now thanks to Catalyst if there's some must-have iPadOS app I want to run then I can run it. The MacBook Air may be the most versatile machine Apple has ever made for users like me.
