That isn't saying much. Even the best possible music editing (etc) app on a tablet is still crappy, by virtue of the form factor. Tablets simply are not suitable for getting actual work done.

While I can't speak to the editing side of things, the live music apps for ios are exceptional. My dad is a musician and I'm a sound engineer. The sheer number and quality of the apps dwarfs the android offerings.
This is changing with iPadOS, but the market needs to catch up with that. It supports a mouse and keyboard really really well now

By that token, touchscreen laptops will replace the iPad any day now.
I think the preeminent issue is that touch-native UIs are very imprecise and clunky by nature. The iPad makes a great MIDI controller; it's an awful mixer or plugin host compared to a regular laptop running regular PC plugins. Buying a mouse or keyboard won't port Omnisphere or the U-He plugins to iPad. I doubt the market will ever "catch up" in that regard.
