And one of the main reasons why people feel the need to upgrade their device to a "real computer" is when the users hit those artificial boundaries which they are not allowed to bypass.

Which iPad owner ever thinks "oh I wish my iPad were even less capable"? Most people are annoyed by its limitations but they accept it as a trade off. I personally would use my iPad much more if it were as capable & open as a Mac.




If the iPad pro came with macOS I'd have one instead of my macbook.

Me, kinda. I've disliked most of the moves to make it more like a general purpose computing platform and less like a slab of glass that becomes different tools (but mostly one at a time!). I have other options for that other crap, the iPad was (still is... barely) a distinct different category that I liked also having. iOS 6 is peak-iOS to me.
