iPad Pro with M1 (soon M2)...still no Apple Pro Apps support?

Last time this question was asked, people replied with

"Try running these apps..."

"Microsoft Surface cannot run them.."

And totally missed the point.

Apple already sent the Macbook packing in 2019 so as far as Apple's Pro software, like Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro and X Code, that those are currently only for full blown OS available on Macbook Air/Pro and the desktop Mac variants.

The guess is that they don't want to cannibalize those by having a touch ready professional OS device in a tablet form, so let's just call it the iPad Pro, but not let it perform how Professionals want.

At some point, though enough people are going to call BS on this and will want any device tagged as "pro" to handle professional apps.

Any other thoughts on why they won't or when they might? iPad Pro 2022 is likely to have M2 chips, so great, we can watch Netflix 40% faster now.

This is not a user to user technical support forum.

It is for discussing Apple products, as a simple look at the front page: discussions.apple.com has you optionally pick a "product" to start discussing. There is no mention of this being a technical forum.

Apple makes no mention of prohibition of speculation in the terms and conditions of these forums.

You have posted lies and I do not know why, but I will not continue to discuss anything with you.

You should read the ToU; calling the volunteers liars is also violating the terms

You are not addressing Apple here. This is a user to user support forum and Apple does not participate here. If you wish to speak to Apple Support, you need to use the Get Support link at the top of the page here. Speculation about what Apple may or may not do is prohibited in this forum, it is a violation of the Terms of Use you agreed to when you joined.

The discussion of speculation about Apple products. This is a user to user technical support forum. It is not for the discussion on what products or services Apple may or may not support or develop. Those are questions you can take to other forums if you wish. I'm just providing you with information. If you do not wish to buy Apple products, that is well within your rights and you can decide on these things based on your wallet. But whether or not Apple decides to develop/support certain software products on their devices with the OS can't be discussed.

They prohibit speculation? That makes my question easier...don't buy Apple products.
