Tim Cook is so focused on getting rid of the mac line. There is no way iOS can replace macOS anytime soon. So many features are needed to make iOS even appealing for everyday “computer” use. I am a developer, I need access to a full fledge unix system to do everyday work.

Developers can be given various (unappealing) options for everyday work. e.g. "Xcode on iCloud" or an ARM macOS VM on the iPad Pro that is sandboxed and restricted to the hilt with a 'developer App store' bolted on. The App store might include things like Xcode plugins, Unix tools, Homebrew etc. The VM might even even have mouse support :p
