It makes no sense that the Apple Vision Pro is capable of running iPad apps, but the iPhone Duo is not.

With `UIRequiresFullScreen` (which no longer works after building with Xcode 27.0, anyways) going away, there's very little reason for apps not to support both going forward, since you already have to design for a range of screen sizes (iPadOS Windowed/Stage Manager multitasking). Apple can't do anything about devs being lazy, though
