Sure, these beasts certainly have their use-case, ... as extended mobile 
mediaplayers etc., but not as full replacement for desktops.

I for one compare tablets to motorcyles vs. cars/trucks. motorcyles are 
fun, nice as complementary "mobility platform", but they are no 
replacement for cars/trucks in many situations.

Well, I've read similar texts, when laptops became available and 
affordable, back in the 1990s. As we all have experienced, they haven't 
swept away the desktop nor did "docked laptops" gain a significant 
market share.
  IMO, because laptops etc. suffer from the same limitations as tablets 
do, these days (Non-extendible, under-powered, etc.).
