Speaking as a hacker or a consumer?

“Apple's domination of the global tablet market continued in the third quarter of 2020, according to market research firm Canalys, with iPad shipments seeing an estimated 47% year-over-year growth rate thanks to coronavirus trends.”

The market is speaking, and consumers don’t care about what the OS is. They never have, and never will.

On the contrary, people care very much about the OS and they want iOS.
They are also quite happy using devices with Windows, ChromeOS, WebOS and Android.

Just not pure GNU/Linux or BSDs (other than those packaged by Apple and Sony).
