Yes saw that and mentioned it in another thread.
For me is not the problem a thing is easily broken, but a thing this expensive is so easily broken.
Apple fans are often shown to put brand above benefits.
I do own tablets, the last one cost me $270 a little over a year ago and prior to that $599 2.5yr ago. Both still working fine. The former bent also too easy but I straightened it back and works still, the latter has had some bad falls and bending opportunities but works as new.
I have a different advice, do not buy something expensive if it is not a PC as in a tower way off the side with a keyboard and mouse you can replace. If it is with you in situations which encounter liquids or is portable, just buy something as close to $0 as possible.
I still keep a $89 tablet with me, I repaired twice, now 5 years old, it is used whenever damage is possible.
Typed on a $330 Chromebook repaired once.
