The problem is that you're comparing a single Android model from one company to the best and only offering by the only company that makes iOS tablets. The very graph attribute about which monkeyluis complained -- that it included in the sales data even those wretched knock-off tablets marketed in equally wretched chain stores -- applies here in the opposite way.

If you're comparing the best tablet Apple has to offer all year to the a tablet which journalists claim is the best Asus offered that day, then the comparison isn't helpful to the person who wants the best tablet for their purposes. That person needs to read a comprehensive survey of tablets and to go to physical stores and try the ones that interest them most.

(On the other hand, if monkeyluis were showing us a graph of tablet durability and usability (acc. to customer surveys) by OS, and the graph included even that aforementioned generic Android tablet, then results would likely serve an argument he might make: that tablets on iOS are better and more durable than those on Windows or Android.)
