Because one is a touchscreen and the other is a set of buttons?
I have coordination/proprioception issues, so I can't use touch devices without missing whatever I'm trying to do, and/or triggering something I'm not trying to do with unwanted tapping and/or gestures. I can disable tapping and gestures on the Mac. I had to install a kernal patch to do that on my previous Linux machine. I can't do that at all on most tablets and touch-based e-readers.
Basically touch screens make it easier for sighted people to trigger something, and harder for sighted people to avoid accidentally triggering the wrong thing.
I also have sensory issues, so I need to avoid bright screens, most animation, and especially zooming animation. I know Android has a number of options, in the accessibility menu, and the developer tools, to disable animation. But they don't disable zooming animation in the Home Screen on the Nuvision, or in certain reading apps.
