It's no longer shocking the Apple religious zealots don't have any clue
what the point is of setting an iPad up WITHOUT it being a dumb terminal.

Only Apple mobile devices are designed from the start as dumb terminals.

Apple DESIGNED the iPad/iPhone as a dumb terminal.
Devoid of everything you like about it WITHOUT logging into the mainframes.

Without logging into Cupertino's mainframe servers 24/7/365 , the iOS
device is devoid of basic functionality that you expect from Apple.
