If Google can’t be bothered to create decent tablet apps for their own apps, why are any other devs going to do it?
clearly you’ve never met a non-programmer with an app idea. so many random people have billion dollar ideas they’re willing to give you for free, and how dare you shrug that idea off as not worth your time, they’re giving you a lottery ticket they can’t turn in because they don’t “get” computers, but you do, so with just your skills and effort, and their genius idea you never could have thought of because you’re not an “idea person”, YOU could be a billionaire.
Yes, I've had one or two sales pitches in my time after admitting to being a software developer.

I may be conflating foldables with tablets which might not be fair. Most of my experience was that of poorly scaled first party apps and tons of wasted space. Looks like they fixed chrome though. Still, reading articles from late 2022 about Google finally getting their act together is saying a lot for a ten year old product.

capitalism
Given their market share it’s not that. They have no problem selling phones, but maybe they lucked into that more than anything.
