MacOS Mode for iPad Pro

Okay, I can’t get a straight answer here… google says one thing, Apple Support says another. I asked the Apple Tech at the Apple Store, and he said it’s possible… but I can’t find anything that supports this…

Is it possible to install apps/programs for Mac M1 chips on the iPad Pro in MacOS mode?

I'm looking to install Visual Studio 2022, and Godot IDE, maybe VS Code, also Logic Pro X (from Mac Store, not the lite app) I know the iPad Pro isn’t a “full laptop replacement” … but aside from the hardware power and screen size, if these installs aren’t supported, then what’s the point of the Pro over a regular iPad with a keyboard case?

thanks in advance!

iPad Pro (6th generation)

The are some universal Apps that are designed to run on both iPad and Mac devices that run on M-Series CPU/SoC. As yet, these universal Apps are by no means common.

Other mac Apps cannot run on iPadOS platforms - and more the iOS/Apps are able to run on Mac hardware.
