Except that you need developers to build an ecosystem and Apple is currently alienating them in droves. developers developera developers as a wise man once said

How does that argument follow? Apple needs developers but they don't need those developers writing code using an iPad do they?

After all, iPhones have an endless amount of apps but nobody (or close enough to nobody) is developing apps using their iPhone.

The stuff they do themselves is terrible; they need third parties and they need a thriving market place to develop talent and competency.

I'm not seeing any decline in enthusiasm for iOS development, but maybe that's just me.

In any case, you can develop fully featured projects for iPad on the web too, you don't even need a Mac for that, let alone an iPad.
