Because they’re a hardware company and it would sell more iPad Pros? They don’t make any money selling software. Well, their own software at least.

SPLITZ Split Screen FX for FCPX – https://www.bretfx.com/product/splitz/ -
True, but aren’t you’re asking a hypothetical question about a hypothetical product that doesn’t exist? How am I supposed to answer? I’m assuming FCPX will benefit from the touch interface in ways that other iPad apps also differ from their desktop counterparts. Seems logical. So with that in mind, I’m taking the question to the next logical hypothetical and asking if LumaFusion would be able to survive. It’s filling a specific void that Apple has left. If Apple fills that void, Lumafusion would perhaps cease to be viable like so many others before them.

Wouldn’t the better question be would LumaFusion be pointless? Especially if the iOS version comes with the FCPX version.
But the benefits could be, beyond the portability and work by the pool aspect, similar to GarageBand. GarageBand benefits from the touch interface when you need to record drums or piano or guitar as you can virtually play them directly on the screen with an interface that’s not on their MacOS counterparts. Using the pencil to draw paths, or your finger to ride role based audio sliders.

The blades are real video footage turned into a repeating gif. The jpeg is a freeze frame from said video. In fact, it only rotates 1/3 around before looping. Minimum data.

They did that because an animated gif of that size would likely look like crud. this way the only potential artifacts are the rotating blades. Doesn’t seem like that much work. Make a couple rotating gifs in FCPX or Apple Motion, etc. very creative. Saves on overhead which is the name of the game. The jpegs can look good highly compressed and the gifs provide the animation.
I’m not a coder, but it could be done in Elementor Pro with a background image and absolute positioning of the blades on top I think.
Other pages on the site that just have simpler elements like a blinking taillight or blinking airplane light seem to have just a background gif.

Looks like an animated gif on top of a jpeg. The gif http://www.hazmatlogistics.co.uk/web_images/emotive/windTurbines/turbineThreeMAX35.gif

In the browser, you can choose clip>open clip and you’ll have access to the video and audio components. You can access all the transform controls from there. You’ll have to do this clip by clip and it won’t affect anything you’ve already put in a timeline.
Why aren’t they showing vertical in the browser? When I shoot vertical my camera knows I’m shooting vertical and flags as such.
Anyway, the above is one option. Your compound idea is the other. Neither optimal.

He has 2.5Million subs, and already 500k views on that video alone. He’s doing very well. I know people that are earning a living on 75k subs, and only dropping a video or two a month. This guy is dropping a couple a week and a few weeks later some are pushing 750k views, and many are well over a million after a few months.

I’d see if you can open FCPX with cmd+opt held down to delete your preferences. Then see if you can open the library. If not, try again and keep hitting the home key to make sure the playhead goes to the beginning before it tries to cache up whatever frame it’s stuck on that either has a bad plugin or frame, etc. Then if you get it open, delete your generated media files for that library.
