Ferrari probably wouldn't sell too many of that model. Apple needs to correct these shortcomings with a much more useful and standard OS. The hardware is getting really good, but the OS is still not up to the point of being able to fully utilize that hardware to its potential.

We need to wait, maybe they will have some good things about a better integrated Desktop view of iPadOS.
I have no interest in this though

That really angers me that so many iPad apps are still just iPhone apps, even in 2021. Apple should put their foot down and demand a real iPad app for iPadOS.

I disagree with that.
Devs do what they can with limited resources. While I understand that an optimized iPad version is great ( and I wish it was the case for all of them), sometimes it does not make sense.
Also, I don't think the situation is as bad as you describe it. The iPad is doing great because of the great ecosystem / apps optimized for it.
