I believe the biggest barrier here is the background processes (and true inter-app communication that'd come with it).

Many pro apps have either plugins and/or interoperability with other apps/extensions on the desktop.

In iPad, even if you have the app (e.g. Logic, Resolve, FCP) it's very hard to create a "real" experience like the desktop with file/plugin interoperability or a true ecosystem. In addition, this is why we don't have any developer tools that'd actually be anything of a daily driver (rather a proof of concept).

If we get true multitasking/background tasks, then I believe many other pro apps will jump onboard.

The hardware is absolutely fantastic, the SoC is more than capable. We just need the software support.
