The reason being how Microsoft messed up the whole UWP delivery.
Still, I rather have the compromise in Windows, and Android DEX land, than carrying two devices, with Apple margins.

Considering you can pick up both a new Macbook Neo AND an iPad from Apple for $200 less than the price of the cheapest (non refurbished) Microsoft Surface you can get from Microsoft, I'm not fully sure the 'apple tax' still exists when comparing to a surface.
Microsoft Store: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/devices/surface-lapt... - $1,149
Apple Links: https://www.apple.com/macbook-neo/ - $599 https://www.apple.com/ipad-11/ - $349
I'm sure there are much cheaper places you can get a surface - but comparing MSRP to MSRP for the new models is a much plainer comparison, particularly as it's often difficult to see if you are looking at an older model with Windows PCs.
Unlike Apple, Surface isn't the only option, it is only a beacon how PC hardware should look like.
Neo is a robbery for a 8 GB device, especially in Europe.
Besides you missed the part of carrying multiple devices.
