So I guess workers who need to create Office docs aren't typical either. They must be fringe elements in the workforce
Those that absolutely must do all word processing etc with Office and not some other program including but not limited to iWork or a cadre of Office clones,yes.
And work is about more than just typing documents in an office. Some folks are sales people who need email, phone calls and perhaps access to a proprietary database system. Some are airline pilots, some police. At my own job we have one 'office' style document, our call sheets. Done just fine in iWork. The rest is custom apps etc.

well you gotta admit that being able to add micro sdcard in a tablet is just amazing..
32GBcard can be bought for 20$ and having already preinstalled 64gigs..
But what isn't amazing is that you must buy that card if you want anything close to that 64gb because as much as 35 of it is sucked up by the OS and built in apps. Unlike an iPad where it's more like 8 GB if that.
And the whole thinness and weight is more smoke blowing than useful specs. Things they should have been looking at are for like battery life, screen you can read in bright sunlight etc
