I love and hate Apple as almost everyone else and have an iPad for 'consultation' only (reading, browsing, video), but on Android, you have IDEs for games dev (Godot), real android apps IDE (through F-Droid), Python, Java and C/C++ IDE (through Android Store) which are close enough of the Linux way...
So the iPad devices could handle that too if Apple allowed it...
Once Apple will enforce the European Union requirement to allow 'sideloading' on iPad, maybe we will be able to have nice things also on it.
That could also be a good thing for Apple himself. A lot of people in Europe have a bad opinion of Apple (partly?) because of the closed (walled) garden of iPad/iOS and other technology/IP which make their portable devices apart of the Android ecosystem.
