Well, your reason seems to echo REASON NUMBER 5 in the article:
5. People are just not upgrading that much anymore.
Some have said that people are just not upgrading their computers that much anymore because they are already as fast as they want them to be. Simon Bisson argues in a piece on ZDNet that we are already in an era of “good enough computing.” “Why do you need to buy a new PC when you can get better performance with a software upgrade on your old hardware?” Bisson writes. It’s an interesting argument, but Rubin says that might be all tied back to argument number one: tablets.
“I would say if they are postponing, it is that upgrade dollars are going to other devices like tablets and smartphones. So, really, it is back to reason one,” Rubin said. Post-PC world is right.

But my question is this — wouldn’t that eventually be the same reason for Tablets?

Well, how long until there is a Linux eyeglass PDA with Oakley or Chanel branding? Probably not more than 3 years from now.
After that, a combo of wrist watch/eyeglass display will provide most people everything they need.
The Japanese have already invented implantable subdermal illuminated touchpads.
E-Paper and OLED displays that are as flexible as paper might allow for tablets that roll up to take up no more room than a bulky pen in volume.
3 axis accelerometers can be built into wrist watch bands, the next step is to build into rings,
Everything I mentioned has already been prototyped or early models already in the marketplace.
I don’t own a tablet—Can’t justify the expense.
Like my old car and my old computer.
Hence the Apple Watch, coming 2015.
