The endless struggle of professional iPad users trying to get their hardware to act like something it insists it is not.
Ultimately the team behind it doesn't want to relinquish control to the user, so we're stuck in this world where it can never truly by a professional tool because every step of the way there is something like this where on a real computer its just an extra screen and you put on what you want on it and the situation where content of the other screen gets suddenly shown can't happen. But the iPad has to pretend screens don't exist and only apps do.
Sure but here we are talking about Airplay, not about a monitor directly connected to the iPad (which also can be done)
Great, just need to make sure I have a dongle and a 10' HDMI cable in my iPad bag.
Why would you need a dongle? I never understood this complaint. If you need a dongle you just bought the wrong cable. Instead of a dongle and an HDMI-to-HDMI cable, you could just have gotten a USB-C to HDMI cable.
Same goes for basically every other scenario where people complain about needing dongles.

Airplay can just extend the screen as a second monitor on MacOS

This might be true but also ipadOS is a buggy mess and fails to even be a good walled garden
