Apple views the Mac as an iPad with an attached keyboard and optionally cooling.
There will be touch on the Mac very soon and they are preemptively getting the Apps ready. The whole Apple Silicon migration is to facilitate this merge of macOS and iPadOS. As soon as the 3 year migration to Apple Silicon is complete and most developers have stopped relying on Rosetta, Macs will have touch and there will be no longer two OSs.
What a depressing future we're headed into :/ Instead of iPad becoming a "proper" computer, the Mac is being dumbed down to become a tablet with a keyboard attached. Sometimes I wonder if the people making decisions at Apple, Google, Microsoft etc. live on a completely different planet than me.
