Aren't they doing the complete opposite by, for example, not adding touchscreen to Macs and handicapping iPadOS on purpose so that it can't be used for real work despite having an M1?

I must have my back turned. Where is this wall? Apple seems to be investing quite heavily into its Mac line-up, including by differentiating it from iOS devices.

I think the biggest danger for the developer crowd is that Apple locks down MacOS so much that our tools and workflows become more limited and difficult to use. I'm not saying that will happen, but it seems more possible today than it did five years ago.

Great, it means more System 9 and less UNIX.
