Agreed. I think the long term strategy is to continue to iterate on iPadOS until it's close to feature parity with macOS and then drop macOS. It may take a decade or longer. Instead of rethinking the desktop UI to fit touch interactions, they're rethinking the touch UI to fit pointer interactions. The last major hurdle to clear is windowing, which you can see small steps towards in iPadOS 15.

I don't think people give enough credit to iPadOS's adaptive pointer. It's a complete rethinking of what a mouse should be in the context of current tech. It's a pointer that can adapt its resolution in different contexts. For UI's that do not need high resolution accuracy, it's much faster to target and click elements.
