I mean, maybe? It seems like the iPad performs admirably on 6GB of RAM, with the previous iPad using 4GB of RAM and still supported by iOS 27, do you know of any desktop PC like that?

Maybe a platform where the developers have to do a little more work to keep the OS smooth and performant isn’t such a bad thing.

My linux t420 still run perfectly fine after 15 years, the only complaint is the shitty screen

Driving a higher resolution screen is both GPU and RAM intensive…

I am guessing your T420 would lose a bootup/web browsing/app launch test against even an old iPad.
