Even as Apple encroaches on this, I'm glad to develop an application for OS X does not require me to continuously pay Apple $100 every year. I'm also glad I'm not required to have Apple be my application vendor.
The situation is getting worse however. With each MacOS release Apple increasingly exerts its control over accessing resources on the machine and distribution of the application itself.
This article is full of other strange comments. The author has says it's "rare to see an iPad without a ... keyboard"? Really?
At the same time, I've been looking for a replacement laptop lately, and I definitely want something more similar to a tablet than an ultrabook. I was considering the Sony Tap 11, but the reviews aren't that great. I may go for a Surface Pro 2. With the right OS, I definitely want a touchscreen laptop.

Indeed; I've never seen anyone use an iPad with a keyboard. Heck, I've never managed to stumble upon anyone typing on their iPad, period. What I do see are people playing games, reading books, watching videos, and having video conversations on them.
