No one is saying you'd stop using these things. You'll still use them.
You just might not use thrum every second. My sin use for my iPad, in s programming context, is coupling with Papers.app. I basically sit down at a coffee shop in the morning, do my morning email routine, and read an academic paper. If I'm riding the train, it's an easy way to fill wasted time with productivity. I find this much more desirable than using a tiny smartphone. What's more, I try not to waste smartphone battery on reading, I need to husband that for calls.
