That might be your reality.
They're not expecting people to get in on the Tab series and then upgrade to the Note out of customer loyalty. I have not seen any indication that they expect people to upgrade at all.
Pricing is not irrelevant. Samsung needs the Tab series to establish a baseline "budget" tier tablet. This type of market segmentation is something out of "Marketing 101". Auto makers do it. So do gadget makers.

I'm not interested at all in 7" tablets, but I'm not going to criticize a company for making products that I'm not interested in.

Agreed.
