I thought the same but they're great for using at home. My wife watches movies on it in the kitchen, my kid loves it for games, I like it for controlling house stuff like IoT, smart home stuff, and apps for home electronics. It's not too different from smart watches where you don't need anything it offers, but it makes things more convenient.

Now the people who take their tablet to Disneyland to take pictures are just plain crazy and shouldn't be lumped in with the rest of us.
