Could this be the reason why iPads haven't had a calculator app until recently?

Because it's such a difficult problem to solve that it required elite coders and Masters/PhD level knowledge to even make an attempt?

I haven’t really used the iPad’s calculator app, but it looks exactly like a larger version of the iPhone app. So I don’t think there are any technical reasons why it took so long for the iPad to get that app.
