Maybe you should read it again with the Apple-colored glasses off. Don't let fanboism make you start chasing ghosts.
I listed Apple store support as a pro.
BTW, Surely you know that the Nexus 7 IS an Android device, and both the OS and the device in this case are made by Google? So we're comparing ..um...apples to apples there....
For you, maybe. Millions of us are perfectly happy web browsing and reading on our Android devices of various aspect ratios and bezel sizes. Don't confuse your personal preference with an absolute truth.

Sorry, not fan boy here. That statement is not accurate.
Got Android and Apple phones. Linux, Windows and OsX laptops. I do have an iPad Air and iPad mini 2 as well.
If Apple stop making devices that don't fit my necessities, I will stop buying them in a blink of an eye. No favoritism here except a preference to what's more powerful and consistent in terms of warranty and user's experience.
And my statement was given as a former Nexus 7 user. So I'm giving my actual experience as an example.
Nexus 7 screen may be good enough for you and others but that doesn't change the fact that screen is still smaller than an iPad Mini. That can't be change and it's a fact. A bigger screen certainly will display much more when browsing webpages. Ironically, something I really dislike from my iPhone (screen size) but compensates in terms if battery life.
To the OP,
If your decision is strictly between and iPad and a Nexus 7 and you're in a tight budget, go for Nexus 7. Just keep in mind that what you save in money now won't give you screen size later, which may be relevant to you if you want to use it for browsing webpages or typing.
