From the post:

>My decade-old and very well-travelled 13" MacBook Pro finally died, and I hoped my new-ish M2 iPad Pro could replace it. Yet no matter how hard I try, an iPad cannot serve me like a Mac does and I can’t help but wonder why. Some of it must be my mindset: Nearly 50 years of using computers equipped with keyboards and screens "programmed" me with certain expectations. Fourteen years of using iPads has programmed me with a very different set of capabilities. I think I could unlearn some habits but only after enormous efforts. Operating systems therefore look like another reason I can’t make the iPad my main machine.

And that's his entire argument. "My tablet isn't a laptop!"

Yeah, well a pair of roller skates isn't a car, even though both have wheels.
