For a business, saving $100 on a tablet is probably not a big consideration. On the other hand, iOS's security, encryption, stability and regular software updates are probably a consideration. Add in the fact that you can quickly get an iPad serviced or replaced at an Apple store (and you can get a small business account with Apple), and you can see why someone would want to get an iPad over an Android tablet. Keep in mind that a $329 iPad is like an order of a magnitude cheaper than a traditional point of sale system. Being able to use a phone or a tablet (and some relatively cheap accessories) is a revolution over old-school point of sale systems.
