People really tie their brains in knots trying to justify iPad OS.

It's terribly limited -- a lot of the software people use regularly cannot run on it, and it also does not allow various typical workflows.

Come now. I think it's only unclear if you plug your ears and say "La, la, la, la!" loud enough.

We all get it: fat fingers can't hit small click targets like a mouse pointer can. Some apps really need a physical keyboard. So go into "iPad mode" when a pointing device and keyboard isn't connected, which can be similar to the current iPadOS interface. Or perhaps make use of some of the nice assistive technologies that are already in macOS. Point is, there are solutions, and no one said the macOS side of it couldn't be optional.
