Agreed this is a real issue, but a professional buying a device personally is unlikely to care about those bits of the puzzle. Compared to the existing tablet market, Windows RT is significantly better in terms of enterprise integration.

How is it better? RT has zero AD support, Android apparently has lots of app options for centralised management.
It does support multiple user accounts (yes, not synced to AD, but better than Android and iOS) and FS encryption out of the box. MDM is baked into the platform; again, no Group Policy, but it can be managed through System Centre. It supports the concept of a mouse, it has USB, it can (I think) integrate with Sharepoint.
