Yeah iPad hardware is sadly limited by software and I think Apple shoots themselves in the foot.

It took them a long time to start allowing apps to use meaningful amounts of ram and managing custom fonts is a mess.

I also suspect the limited number of “pro” apps is partly thanks to how the App Store runs. If I were going to invest in developing powerful software for iPad, being at App Review’s whims and ever-changing policies seems like a pretty big risk.
