I've abandoned using my iPad for anything other than usage where mobility & portability are critical, or a touchscreen feature is essential, such as legal signatures.
Other than that, its limitations by not having a proper file system and even more importantly, not being able to work with multiple programs with the same ease that a proper computer does (minimizing & maximizing programs, hiding a program when not in use, etc) and I have found that now that I do have a proper portable computer (M1 MacBook) that my iPad has become little more than a paper weight. Not only that, how annoying is it that when you go to a website, it detects that you're using a mobile device, so it redirects you to the (less supported) "mobile version" of their website instead of the full-featured, better supported desktop version of their website?
I don't see myself replacing my antiquated 2015 iPad Pro until they either make iPads (or at least a few premium level iPads) whose OS is either MacOS or at least a high enough level of iOS that it mimics MacOS performance & functionality.
Apple can be forgiven for using iOS on iPhones and even early generation iPads, but hamstringing these newer, extremely capable M-series iPads with their much higher performing hardware is clearly all about selling more (unnecessary) hardware, accessories, & applications.
I'd much rather spend $2000 to $2500, maybe even $3000, on a premium touchscreen "MacPad" working with MacOS, plus its expensive $300 keyboard case & other profitable accessories, than $1000 on an iPad with iOS and another $1500 for an M-series MacBook Air. There's no comparison between those 2 options as far as ease of workflow, number of devices to upgrade, charge, etc. That's my 2¢... and few extra free dollars.
P.S. As an alternate solution to a "MacPad", I'd be equally happy with a 2-piece MacBook AirTouch, for which the keyboard is detachable and the computer innards are not in the keyboard part, but rather the touchscreen.
