Tablet hardware running a full Windows install is better than Android tablets these days, especially since battery life is so much better than it used to be. My laptop (Lenovo Yoga, so almost a tablet) runs all day, and I do some heavy stuff (including running a VM constantly). If I did only tablet stuff, I’d probably get 2 days out of it. The Yoga is a bit larger and heavier than my iPad with a keyboard case, but does 10x more.
Full OS on tablet is so close (both Dell and Lenovo offer tablets that can run Windows or Linux), I don’t see a mobile OS advantage anymore, and Google sees it too. They’ve got to get people locked in before a Linux laptop has 2 days of run time, because that will make an end run around mobile OS and UEFI lockdown.

Yes, windows on convertible laptops is a very powerful tool.
