Everybody who owns one of these tablets is not a developer. An awful lot of us bought them because we were taken in by the hype and only found out later that they don't do what we expected. The average consumer doesn't know or care nearly enough about computers to overcome these problems. They need devices that "just work". Yeah, I know what you're going to say now... "buyer beware" (great! let's all never buy another Nokia product!)... "you should research and know exactly what you're getting before you buy" (as though that were possible or reliable or we didn't try to do exactly that)... Sorry, but the package (and any POS info) should say exactly what you're getting, and most of the time it does. Some countries have laws against false advertising...
