Comment It's about Darwin (Score 1) 61
The fundamental technical difficulty is bringing Darwin to the iPad, which supports POSIX, open source like hombrew plus Xcode, and that is a BIG leap for iPadOS. I'll admit I'd like to see that and buy it myself, but not only is it a bit of a spork, it's also opening up the iPadOS to malware that only macOS has to endure right now. I'm happy with my tech-adversarial dad having just iPadOS as it is.
