Yeah, just because you can do something, it doesn't mean you should invest heavily into it. Weird setup avoiding the fact that MacBooks still don't have a touchscreen. My point was that Apple now is trying to turn tablets into something useful on the desktop, i.e. like a Windows 10 device, which is dual mode.

Not really comparable. A Windows 10 device can be both a notebook and tablet.

iPads running the Sidecar app are still just iPads — they can't magically be used in a desktop mode, they're only providing a secondary display to a Mac.

Well, yeah, but I am talking about Sidecar plus iPadOS. Basically, all this is a catchup with Android and Windows.

It's still two devices, one of which having a feature that depends on another device.

The Android and Windows stories are different, those are about one device.
