To be honest, I agree with them and don't see the point in connecting your tablet to you TV as it already has a screen. I have a tablet with HDMI, but honestly never used it. I guess the majority doesn't so skipping it, reducing the SoC price settings looks smart to me.

I doubt XBMC users in general are using the hdmi out feature on tablets all that much - we already have a slick, convenient way to watch digital content on our TVs. For most people, though, the presence of hdmi is a great way to do just that.
