Also, it doesn‘t run on iPads because it would be very difficult to use all these mouse and keyboard centric UIs with only your finger.

Nah. I used a phone for two years running Linux with FVWM and mostly VTE apps. If anything keyboard driven UIs are nicer on touch screens since the controls don't slide over each other all the time.

Most people think they would be bad because they haven't tried them.

But macOS is not primarily a keyboard driven UI?
Imagine if iPad gains a Windows Continuum-like morphing desktop functionality when docked with peripherals and a monitor. They could name the feature . . . Continuation?
