One basic problem - macOS has many, many more features than iOS. There would be a lot more involved than redesigning the UI. The two platforms have fundamentally different class trees all the way from the view and user event classes down to core OS hooks. There's some limited overlap, but not as much as you might expect. Merging the two platforms and creating a UI-level split wouldn't be impossible, but it would be a huge job and would effectively mean a rewrite of both OSs - and probably of WatchOS and TvOS too. It's not obvious this would be a good thing to do. MS tried it, and that was pretty much a disaster. |

Do you mean the Windows Runtime subsystem? How is it a disaster?
