Agreed. I actually compared my Z Fold 7 to my son's iPad Air and pulled up several apps and they looked exactly the same, so I definitely thing that's an old argument.
Anecdotal sampling of apps will of course be different for everyone but I have a handful of apps I use on my iPad that either are just phone versions or don’t exist on Android at all. Yes, absence of apps isn’t necessarily Android tablet specific but still a frustration when considering using an Android tablet as an alternative to an iPad.

I owned a Pixel Tablet. Was pretty underwhelming. Especially the battery life. Wasn't worth the price at the performance it gave.

As I may have mentioned earlier, most reviews gave the Pixel Tablet a positive review, not so much because the tablet was great but rather because a) Google was back, making tablets and b) because the tablet was centered around the dock. Some of the reviewers thought it had an Apple influence.

Besides that, the tablet was average, with average hardware specs other than the Dock. It didn't take long to figure out that if you wanted a premium Android tablet experience, you don't buy from Google rather, you buy a Samsung or maybe OnePlus tablet.

That said, there is a rumor that Amazon may release a premium Android tablet. The rumor falls in line that Amazon is closing the doors on it's App Store and will embrace instead the Google Play Store. If they do enter the Google tablet market, it should boost Android tablet sales.
