Its possible with some reviewers that they are mostly apple fans so they won't or don't review other tablets in a unbiased manner.

there is not one tablet optimized application for this device yet it's sprung on consumers like some second coming of android tablets
I'm really tired of hearing that their isn't any tablet optimized apps, this is a complete lie as there are many, how many of the same types of apps do you need. Plus, Android tablets don't run iOS, which requires app developers to manually set the resolution of the device their writing for as apps have independant resolution, which is just stupid by the way. This also gives the impression that they are tablet optimized apps which are in reality the same exact apps found in devices like the iPhone, just resized. I bought the iPad Pro before returning it for the Pixel C, it was just over sized iPad with to many issues to count. Anyway, I have every single app that I had installed onto the Pro now on my Pixel C, every single one, okay, not all, except for the music creation apps. By the way, over 80% of those apps didn't even support the iPad Pro's resolution because of that walled garden nonsense. When comparing the apps from the iPad Pro to the Pixel C, they looked pretty much identical, Flipboard, Feedly, Instagram, MS Office Mobile, Pocket Casts, VLC, Adobe Photoshop Touch, Art Rage, Snap Seed, etc. Except the Pixel C displayed them all at the native resolution. Andoid apps resize dynamically according to the resolution so apps look good on both a phone and tablet. Well, that is If an app is done right from the beginning, which the top 500 apps are and are really the only ones you would really want anyway. Now yes, there are a few apps that are specifically written for tablets like Pixelator for iOS, however they are far and few, work better on a desktop OS and Android has alternatives for them as well, I use Art Rage for example on my Pixel C and it works fantastically. So there are tablet apps for Android, lots of them, your just unwilling to do the research in finding them. I have found tablet optimized apps for every single task that I want to achomlpish on a tablet. Have you even used MS Office for Android, here is a list to get you started, once you start looking you will quickly find that your comment is completely based on ignorance of the platform your using. Unless your an iOS user who is just rolling.
Good on you for keying into the "any" in that statement. I should point out that people are referring to more than resolution when they state this, not that it makes them correct or anything. There clearly are optimized apps no matter how one splits the hair.
But one more angle that irritates me when I see this is the implication that the Pixel C is to be tarred because of the applications that they presume don't exist for tablets in the store.
I suppose if you were coming from the Apple ecosystem you might not know better, but I've tried the iPad and wasn't impressed by its apps. so I have little patience for this kind of thinking. I think the OP probably read it somewhere and was persuaded that it was a problem--the rule of primacy and all. I don't want the OP to think we're piling on him, just the idea.
