You just don't get it and you never will.
You're geeks, these machines are not built for you and you will always react to your incapacity to understand them by disparaging those that use them.
I don't own an iPad and can't imagine getting one soon; it's just a matter of personal preference and priorities that's all. But I was shocked and I became aware of the importance of iPads to computing, when I saw a retired senior reading his stuff on a bus. The iPad broke a generational and social barrier that had resisted for 30 years: that computers were temperamental machines only for the initiated to understand.
So stop hating Apple and Jobs for making stuff that broke your bubble...
