This is really all about the iPads to me. Having that "magical piece of glass" run free software for years to come is an absolute win.

  What is the benefit compared to a rooted android tablet?

    Not sure this applies here since the OP seems to be only for certain hardware, but... I'd have bought an android tabled years ago if I had found something that seriously competes with the iPad Pro 12" versions.

      iPads are just straight up good hardware, externally and internally.

    As someone who owns an OG iPad 1, the benefit of potentially being able to run Linux on it is I already have an old iPad but I don't have a rooted Android tablet. Currently, due to Apple refusing to support it with software updates, and providing no other means for me to update it myself, the iPad is kind of useless.

    There are a lot of iPads.

    Way easier to create software for it, and with more flexibility, for starters.
