I’m not American and both my mother and my mother in law (both over retirement age) use an iPad as their only large-screen computing device along with an iPhone. It’s not a “rich parent” thing, it’s a “this device has actual support from the manufacturer for years” thing. Android tablets are still an afterthought with Samsung the only one bravely attempting to bring large screen support to the OS.
