I've wanted to ditch the iPhone/Macbook and go watch/airpods/ipad for years now. They need to decouple the requirement to own an iPhone to get a watch up and running (this should be something an iPad can do), and make the iPad an actual pro dev machine. Not sure I'm ever going to get my wish, sadly.

Apple could sell $200 "indulgence" NFC dongles secured by T2 enclaves.
Tap enough sacrificial indulgences on a neutered iPad or Watch, and it will software-unlock obvious convergence functionality, whose artificial absence now proliferates physical devices and environmental expense.
