You can plug an iPad to a MacBook via usb c and use it as an external monitor and it works really well in my experience. Kinda makes me wonder if there isn’t a patent somewhere preventing it from wider use.

Yeah it does, but definitely not as well. I’ve had much better results with the USB connected directly.

Huh? It works perfectly without a wire.
It doesn’t use your wifi router, it uses a direct (peer to peer) wifi connection between your computer and the tablet, which if they’re next to each other (e.g. a laptop and a tablet), will be faster than USB.
If it’s a tower PC under a timber desk with a crappy wifi antenna, then yeah that won’t work as well as a cable. Timber is pretty effective at blocking wifi.
