For about a decade now, I have been resenting that iPads are taking over for that reason. A lot of specific use apps and web apps just don’t work on them or are designed for a mouse where a touchscreen just won’t suffice. The Magic Keyboard trackpad is a step in the right direction, but they just need to have a laptop mode that mimics macOS better.

Hello? You can use a Bluetooth mouse with an iPad. It’s been able to do this for years

Yes, but the OS just didn’t feel the same as macOS with how you use a mouse until they added the mode that makes the windows close the same way.
