I agree this is very interesting.
If you'd like to hear Tim Cook's take on what Apple think, see his interview from D10, where he talks specifically about this, and why Apple thinks keeping iOS and OS X separate makes more sense than combining them.
TLDR: A legacy OS (OS X) has to much "Old stuff" that would hold back an iOS device (iPad) because it would be too clunky.
