An introduction to the Haiku OS
The iPad does not have that limitation. Applications are not run as root. If they were there would be no need for jailbreaking.

That's not true, Applications could still run as root but be signed and subject to approval as they are now. The only difference I can think of is they just wouldn't be sandboxed any longer.
Consider applying for YC's W25 batch! Applications are open till Nov 12.
