Its been 10 years since the Nexus 7 was released[0], a barely functional device that Google made unuseable when they released an update that made it painfully slow.
Once bitten, twice shy. Their future might be android tablet based, mine is more likely to be an environment that isnt completely littered with abandoned devices you have no hope of getting support for.

You may be twice shy but even a Samsung S3 tab from 2016 would be leaps and bounds ahead of an awfully designed ultracheap product.
1. There are Amazon Fire tablets which are cheap and useable for watching Netflix and Prime Video but you can't expect too much from them.
2. You have Apple's entry-level iPad which is a great tablet for most things at an affordable price.
3. You have Android tablets. They are often more expensive than the iPad, and offer less performance and value.
4. Then there are Apple's premium iPads, which cost more but offer more features.
5. There are also Windows tablets which are basically like Windows laptops without keyboards, and many of them do not offer good performance.
