I have both Mac and iPad - and they are used for different things. Idly playing games in a recliner is an iPad thing. Prime video, YouTube and Apple TV get more play on the iPad than the Mac.
My brother's household has 4 Macs of various form factors (mini, studio, 2 laptops) and 5 iPads (two of which are iPad pros - one hand me down and one new that is used for drawing... and one is an iPad mini).
There are many situations where an iPad is a preferred device over a laptop (or the impracticality of taking a Mac mini to bed) and many where the Mac at a desk is a much better choice.
Given the finances and priorities that support two sets of devices ... it should not be surprising at all to have both.
