On desktop you do productive work, your apps need native capabilities. On mobile, apps are primarily consumption, displaying, browsing... no complex interactions.

Lots of people use iPads for content creation. I think your worldview on this topic is a bit narrow. There have also been multiple feature length movies shot on an iPhone, at least two of them by Oscar winning directors! Those weren’t done on a mobile browser.

ipads are designed primarily for consumption not creation. I'm sure lots of people manage create something on an ipad anyway but that doesn't mean it's a good tool for the job. Filming a movie on an iphone is just using the camera. I'd be very surprised if anybody making a full length movie with their iphone edited that film on their phone or an ipad.

Not really. And this is why native apps are necessary. You can't use the built-in camera on an iphone successfully in this way, and I don't know any director who has. They use specialized third-party apps which give them the appropriate control.

Can we stick to "by and large"? Every year many youtubers make that video of trying to use ipad/samsung dex as the productive computer for a day. Last I checked they always end the same way.
