The ability of any "tablet" device to fully exploit a more conventional approach to inputs and displays will be hampered by how locked down the platform is. If you can't freely install apps, what makes you think there will be a suitable desktop style app when you want it?
The apps of your choosing simply won't be available. They won't be available due to the same underlying issue: hardware lockdown.

They'll be available if customers demand them. A locked-down device that doesn't serve the needs of its users won't exist for long.

We're already seeing the rise of the crippled machines. That's why a certain contingent here is so worried about the subject of this thread.
