He probably has a keyboard, but students don't.

Even then, he's wrong. There are power tools such as Scrivener which have no equivalent outside the PC ecosystem.

What? Scrivener has LONG had a iPad version

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/scrivener/id972387337?mt=8

Also Bear is another amazing iPad writing app. As good or better than anything on PC IMO. Clearly he's not "wrong", it's almost like people who like the iPad for content creation actually may know what they are talking about.

Leaving aside that I'm on Android...

That's still version 1. It won't even open my files.

The versions are different across platforms. Version 1 on iOS WILL open desktop version 2 files. Here is their site where they talk about that: https://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener_ios.php

Also we are talking about iOS and Apple in this thread not sure what Android has to do with it.

I borrowed an iPad and tried it. The app crashed on trying to open one of my files.

What they claim to support, and what they actually do support, are not necessarily the same thing.
