Interesting from a cost perspective but I hope it doesn’t introduce any oddities in software compatibility.

There’s already things the M chip series iPads can do that the A chip series can’t.

The new multitasking features (movable windows, pseudo-desktop environment) of iPadOS might be telegraphing an “iBook” line-up.

Meanwhile, the MacBook stays with the M chips.

OSX could run just fine on the iPad today. There's no technical limitation, there's nothing to develop (nothing non-trivial anyway.)

OSX does not run on the iPad because it would give iPad users an escape from profitable "value add."
