Here,

Vote with your wallet, if enough people do that, maybe Apple will notice.

Now if you already validated what they are selling is enough to keep the masses happy, then it is as it is.

The second link (to Surface) is trying to sell a Surface computer (i.e., hardware).

The first link appears to be... presentation software? I think? It talks a lot about Samsung devices but doesn't appear to be selling a specific device (i.e., not hardware. I don't see how the software would affect sales of the iPad (which is hardware).

(Was there a different link you meant to share instead? :) )

Can you try to do at least the bare minimum of trying to understand the text instead of badly extrapolating from the pretty pictures?

The number of people who are willing and able to “vote with their wallet” for alternative OSes on iPad is insufficient for results.

The vast, vast majority of iPad users want iPadOS and nothing else.

Hope is not a strategy.

Yet another proof that those that want something else, should sponsor someone else for their efforts.

Not give money to Apple, and then complain.

But which software stack? Android? Windows? Both are barely usable and for the most common tasks iPadOS is sadly miles ahead.

Waiting patiently for the first Nuvia/Oryon/SDXE tablet or 2-in-1, with detachable non-bluetooth keyboard

The Snapdragon Elite devices launched so far have been laptops.
