Hands up if you'd love a high-powered iPad Pro running macOS. Unfortunately you might have to wait a long, long time.

Absolutely agree on both points: (1) iPad Pro DESERVES MacOS (a truly professional operating system); and (2) won't get it UNTIL Apple can no longer force users to buy both a MacBook and an iPad. I am particularly frustrated by the Apple iPad crowd that bombs forum threads like this with their "don't you dare take away our simplistic treasured iPad OS," as if a real OS would be a plague on iPad Pro. The Pro is a professional device and let it act like one. Give these users the option to lock it to "iPadiness only" mode if they feel so threatened by macOS on an iPad Pro. This already IS the replacement we all wanted for the severely underpowered MacBook 12 - just give it a real operating system Apple.

The best possible answer is some sort of SynergyOS, because MacOS has some work to do too, some legacy crud and weird limitation in areas of window management, and application preferences specifically. Having it harmonized through unification will not only benefit one minor slice of the Apple device market (iPad Pro), but also open up possibilities for the Macs. And yeah, perhaps a 10% cut is the price to pay for that (+security), on both Apple and Developer sides
