That's a very complex issue. In some ways, Google's recent design trends and libraries, e.g. as in Inbox, do not take good advantage of large screens on the desktop or in tablets. I suspect Google aimed for a cross-platform UX first, before really tackling the screen real estate issue.

On the other hand, a tablet layout that "flattens" a UI hierarchy by displaying a list Fragment to the side of a display/edit Fragment is pretty simple to do. Material Design works just fine for this, too.
