Keep in mind there's plenty of android apps designed to function on tablets with much larger screens. Obviously there's not nearly as many as on the iOS side of the world where the iPad is far more successful, and there's a wide variability in how good they are at taking advantage of the extra real estate. But they're out there.
The real issue, IMO, is that those apps are designed with a touch-based UX, and that doesn't translate well to mouse-based interaction. And one of the few areas where Apple and I are in agreement is in poor ergonomics of a touchscreen on a laptop or PC.

Or as if `market research has shown that bigger buttons engage more users`. I like to see more on my screen in one go. That's why we get multiple monitors or bigger monitors. To see more content. And everyone is hellbent on wasting it. More CPU/RAM got us more web-as-desktop apps. Higher resolution, bigger screens are giving us bigger, emptier GUIs.
