    It would technical possible for Apple to have dual boot, and you could boot macOS when you connect to an external display. But I guess it would not be good for business

      Not even dual boot. The core OS is the same. Just have two UI. One for phone one for desktop.

      Apple will never do this because they sell hardware.

        That’s what they’re doing. They clearly would prefer people to move to iOS, that smells a bit like MacOS, as it’s a damn sight more profitable to both sell you hardware and software 30% cuts.

        iOS and iPadOS have fundamental design decisions, that make it unsuitable for desktop like use. The whole every all lives in their own sandbox and files being silo’d isn’t suitable.
