One serious downside to the iPad (unless I'm doing it wrong) is that you can't hyperlink text in an email using the Mail app. I would love to use my iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard to do email, but since I send a lot of emails with hyperlinked words, it doesn't work for me.
The only workaround I'm aware of is that you can hyperlink a word in another app, then copy/paste it into Mail. That's too much of a hassle for me — I'd sooner use a different mail client and enjoy better search while I'm at it.
Also found that for all the protection that URL link checkers that practically every damn Exchange server is using nowadays are supposed to give me, they screw up long URLs with a multiple parameters often enough for me to notice and be irritated by it.
In my experience, if you just put the actual URL into an email, the vast majority of common email clients today will automatically turn it into a hyperlink.

Using hyperlinks is a security risk for the receiver. That is probably one answer for the question ”why”.
Often it is recommended to not use hyperlinks, so receiver can see where they are going.
Hyperlinks are the most used tool for scammers. Of course, limitation in Mail app does not help too much.

Oh sure, the point is that I want to say "here are two examples" and have the word "two" and "examples" point to two URLs.
