Why are they still trying to turn a tablet into a desktop? They are different things, with different purposes - not everything needs to be the same thing.
Try looking at it another way. I have my laptop plugged into my monitor 90% of the time, and I use it with a keyboard and mouse attached. So, I rarely touch the hardware.
When I do, use my laptop, I'm using it for the same type of things I would use a tablet for 70% of the time. Rarely am I actually doing any coding on it, but when I need to, I need to.
Therefore, I can add a 3rd device, a tablet, into the mix, but why bother? One well built device now handles 100% of my use cases.
I suspect many people don't use the surface as a tablet most of the time, but when you want to, it's nice to have that capability.
