You are correct. There is a chronic shortage of a quantity of quality touch-optimized Modern UI apps for Windows tablets. My first-hand experience with the Surface confirms what you anticipate your experience might be.

Microsoft app ecosystem unlikely to expand anytime soon. Likewise, don't hold your breath for pro apps on the ipad pro. Its a stand off.
 
Ha! I have an SP3 that's been my runabout for the last year or so. But since I bought a rMB about a month ago, it's been gathering dust. Also just went into the store and compare the iPP to the rMB, and the rMB is so much more practical.
Hows that rMB pen functionality working for you? I see similar posts to this scores of times--its the pen that is driving the issue
 
Ha! Perhaps it's due to my horrible penmanship, or my lack of artistic talent, but I never got pens. The stylus on my SP4 mostly gathers dust, unless my kids are using it. My kids adore the pen!!!
