My perspective as an Android dev, is that Android tablets are basically dead because of the old view system. Creating individual layouts wasn't that difficult, but creating layouts that looked good in landscape, tablets, and various sizes was time consuming. Plus changing orientations would cause data loss with out a lot of boiler plate. So it really wasn't worth the effort to do anything besides lock portrait mode for most developers. 7 inches is a particularly annoying size to adjust layouts for. This made the tablet experience kinda crappy in most apps. Which helped create lower tablet sales. Which further disincentivized the creation of tablet UIs. Everyone buying a tablet then started getting iPads. Repeat for many years. Jetpack Compose makes adaptable layouts much easier to create, there's a big push with documentation showing how to create layouts for tablets, foldables, and other unusual form factors, and Google is starting to warn that locking to portrait mode will stop working eventually. There's no guarantee Android tablets will sell again, but you're currently too late or too early.
