I wont have a tablet without both cameras. I am not a teenager or using it to sext anyone.
I am a father of two children under the age of 8. the grandparents of these children( and a good portion of the rest of the family) live on the other side of the continent. when we video chat with them and other relatives its much easier to show them opening presents and blowing out candles when i can hold the device looking at the display, chat a little and then switch to the rear camera to allow the folks to watch the kids while i keep everything in view.
augmented reality is another nifty thing to use the rear camera for.
these cameras cost about 1.50-2.50 in volume to add. They are adding value to the device not expense. The retail margins are super slim already on tablets. leaving these out wouldnt alter the pricing but for many consumers would make them less desirable next to devices at the same price or lower that have them.
mind you there are plenty of tablets out there without the rear camera.
