If apple wanted to show that they have good hardware they wouldn't gimp the iPad pro with iOS. They really don't care.

Currently, someone interested in an iPad and needing the power of a MB, will have to buy both.

If they stopped restricting the iPad, those people would only have to buy an iPad.

And as someone without a single interest in an iPad, I would worry that removing the iPad limitations would increase its market-share and lead to Apple reducing even more their interest in the MB, which would be terrible news to me.

I used to understand/agree with this point, but over the past few years i've transitioned to my ipad pro for mobile usage and it has become my daily driver for mobile computing. When i need macos for anything, i typically will use Jump to connect and do something real quick, but that's rare. I'm starting to not understand why i wouldn't just want an ipad pro running a touch friendly (and i mean it would have to be VERY touch friendly) version of macos. again, i would have normally agreed with you, but that line is starting to blur for me...
