I live in Asia and I see all students using iPads instead of laptops. The limitations of the OS are really not felt by the general public. Whatever you listed doesn't even make sense to them, they buy things based on what they can afford. Every iPad works the same to them.

You're not wrong, but I hate the idea of an entire generation growing up without ever using a full powered computer. (Full powered is the wrong word, more like fully capable computer)

We have an entire generation who only knows how to interact with "usability optimized" interfaces with zero friction and zero learning curve.

Not knowing how to use a regular computer creates a barrier to entry for programming and other computing industries that didn’t exist before.
