the problem is that the question is ill-formed. there is no single direction that other industries are moving in. various companies clearly think that the tablet has an important role to play in future audio technology. are they wrong? that question is also ill-formed. you asked your question no doubt because you perceive many different industries "adopting" linux in various ways. this is just one of many directions that many different industries are moving, and they are not all moving in all of them. the audio tech industry, like the rest, will pick and choose. "adoption of linux" is not written in stone, or even on paper, no more than "adoption of iOS tablets" is.
[ ... me talking about tablets .. ]
No doubt about that but tablets suffer from cooling and energy issues that
have been solved for many years on desktop and server solutions. Also a
single 64 core machine is going to outperform a render farm of 64 tablets
both on price and efficiency.
Not as portable but portability is not usually a core requirement for
production systems.
