I don’t spend my time longing for the iPad to have Mac features or to have it be a Mac. I wish the same for Mac users, that they can learn to be satisfied with what they have in the Mac and not spend so much time wishing for a different computer.

Can't agree more. People who want the best of both worlds should consider having both. At the end of the day, iPadOS will always strive to make iPad users more happy, not trying to lure Mac users off Macs.
