I think everyones experience is equally as valid. For your use case and needs a tablet+keyboard works perfectly fine.
I do think a lot of the PC annoyances you mentioned have improved drastically over the past decade. For example: I hear that back in the day getting a printer to work was stressful. Now (for me) it just works out of the box both on MacOS and Linux. Only Windows for work still has some driver problems in my case.
But the windows experience has probably become even worse since your last time on a PC anyway. I can‘t fathom why anyone would stick with Windows unless it is some very specific application or video game that doesn‘t work on other platforms.
There is a use case in this year that requires the use of a laptop and the Microsoft AI fiasco is making me stress a bit.
The other things you mentioned as slightly improved don’t give me hope.
