It’s not the same. I use a Tab S9 and Duet a lot, and while Chromebook has good mouse hover actions and “full chrome” with right/middle click, etc, Android is severely lacking. It’s amazing how helpful a cursor that changes when you hover is on a desktop site.
A lot of those behaviors are added by the design/devs because they expect you to use a mouse on the web apps. But for android apps it’s just assumed that everyone will use touch. Sometimes I’ve seen UXs achieve this behavior with a long tap, but that takes away the “right-click” behavior.
Oh agreed, but until they’re implemented in apps via an OS hover layer, Android won’t work as a desktop replacement. Unless they can change a universal user behavior, which is possible, but not likely as a non-dominant desktop OS.
