Is that a big box store? If so I'm impressed. Nothing like that near me.
However if that's an online store then it could be misleading as to
what's in stock vs what's actually selling.

I use local stores (like Best Buy) tablet displays as an indication of
what tablet sales are like. Perhaps also a bit misleading I admit...

Could they not update older model Android tablets to version 8.x?

Interesting. Nothing I find here on the shelf goes all the way back to
Android 4.

> A Lenovo Yoga is not a Chromebook

Agreed. I just happen to be writing this on a Yoga 920. Just gave away 
the old Yoga laptop to a grandkid.

Perhaps it's the tablet business in general that's waning: IDC: Tablet
shipments decline for 16th straight quarter:

My Android tablets don't take USB sticks without an OTG cable. Do yours?
Do you think most Android tablet owners even know about OTG adapters?

Do you think most people even watch movies on their tablet when at home?
Personally I prefer my movies on the 55" flatscreen. YMMV.

We try to get the kids AND ADULTS to ignore their electronics and
actually interact with each other at family parties. Unfortunately we're
often not that successful... 8-/
