Aren't all these available to people with desktop/laptop computers? Aren't there something like an order and a half magnitude more of those than tablets?

And this was all possible a decade ago. There were at least 50M people with web connections a year ago.

Way of missing the point. Also: There were no podcasts and hardly any blogs a decade ago. Both exist today (in their massive numbers) because the tools for content creation and distribution have become simpler to use and cheaper.

But none of those things you mention has anything to do with tablets.

Yes! Exactly! Because looking only at tablets is wrong.
