I'm somewhat disturbed by the fact that Samsung (and Apple) seems to be the only one that is pushing for >= 10" tablets. I had a Galaxy Tab S Pro which is not that great (heard the Note line is very good). I ended up gifting it to my dad and I bought myself an iPad, even though I'm heavily invested in Android.

Nexus 10 has no successor, and LG is not coming out with anything with that diagonal, and now this.

I have a 21 inch "tablet" hanging on my office wall, it's pretty useful as a dashboard and I can put it on a standing desk for typing up emails and watching videos, http://www8.hp.com/us/en/ads/aio-products/slate21-pro.html
would be nice if it wasn't power cord bound.
Not really, it's heavy, like ~14 pounds.

It's definitely useful though, a good niche product between desktop computer and tablet.

Bigger tablets definitely exist, but the thing is they're much bigger, and many don't run on battery. Search "android all in one" to find them. Here are some examples:

The Transformer series is usually good. Don't like the proprietary plug though. My 2012 model lasted well and I gave it to my mother as a gaming device that she is still using to this day. The Tegra 3 chip kinda sucked though.

There was no N10 successor because apparently it didn't sell well enough.

I just picked up a Galaxy Note Pro 12.2, and I love the size! The display is amazing. It's fast, too. A pretty nice upgrade from my Nexus 10.
Agreed. I would love a 15" tablet for watching movies in bed.
