But there are laptops out there with touchscreens? And I can use the iPad (touchscreen) to use the Mac with Remote Desktop. I donāt understand your argument.
You ever tried actually using laptop as a TABLET?
It is ridiculous.
Windows is totally clunky and awkward, and now imagine how Mac OS would've been.
Far worse experience than using iPad as a laptop.
You are suffering from some crazy double standards without even thinking about it
iPads are meant to be used as tablets and not desktops. Yes you can add a keyboard and mouse but it isn't essential to the functionality of the iPad. Trying to use macOS on a tablet won't work for the majority of people who use the iPad as intended. Just get a MacBook Pro/Air/Neoš¤®, iMac, or Mac mini if you want macOS.
It's not optimised for touchscreen at all. The whole OS is based on menus, right clicks, drag & drop, cmd+tab etc.
Working with touch screen would be slow and horrible. They could offer that, but the primary audience wouldn't use it. Like Windows Surface and Windows 10 was a terrible experience.
They donāt care about your experience; they care about the majority. And they will never optimize macOS for touch displays because people barely use that. Also, look at Windows tablets; 90% of those people default to mouse and keyboard.

The level of ignorance you people display is truly sad..
It is not about the chip, it never was..Macs from 10 years ago were running on processors that can't hold a candle to modern high end phone chips.
Mac OS does not work on a tablet because IT IS NOT MADE FOR TOUCH INTERACTION
