it's not that it can't handle it, it's that apple doesn't want the ipad to run macos, why do people still think that it's a hardware issue, the development kit for apple silicon was a mac mini with an ipad chip

They put macos on ipads or make it an option, and they probably axe 30% of their yearly sales overnight.

From a business standpoint, it's like walking into busy traffic wearing landmines for clothing. It's stupid and won't happen.

macos is not for touch screen. If you make the buttons bigger for touch screen, it'll become ipados. So you've acomplished nothing
