I don't know enough about tablet sale history, but I am under the impression that a few years back iPad was really the only tablet device embracing the format strengths you could get, and the sales hugely reflected that. Android equivalents were just larger smartphones.

As for the logic part, I think it's not as uncommon -> q-tips are just a brand of cotton swabs, hoovers are just vacuum cleaners etc.
