I’m pretty sure it can run it considering the M series Macs all run iOS apps. They probably haven’t figured out how to roll it out or they want to squeeze more money by making you buy both.
When you want to draw something you go to tablet mode and use the pencil. - When the drawing you made needs some editing that iPad software can’t do then you switch to mac os mode and finalize the drawing.
Do some programming in mac mode because programming on ipad is extremely limited. - Then when you’re done coding you switch to tablet mode and relax with some touch based jigsaw puzzle games.
When you have to use the windows-only programs that work mandates you have to use then you go to mac mode with attached keyboard and run it through parallels. - Then that evening you switch to tablet mode and chill in bed reading a comic book.
Etc etc etc.
All the things that are better done on a mac, and all the things that are better done on an iPad, they all have no reason for existing on separate hardware
Let it run OSX and I’d buy it

It’s about the UX. The hardware can do it but they don’t want to simply port macOS to a device it was never designed for.
Instead they’re just going to keep adding things to iPadOS over time until it’s the same. It’s just that they’re taking way too long to get there.
What’s the appeal of an iPad running OSX over a Mac?
It would be super useful.

There is nothing. People just like to complain about the App Store.
