True, but in this regard iPads are actually quite good when compared with the alternatives.
Granted, kids will need their parents to install them the apps, but there are quite a few to play around with programming.
For example Pythonista.
And Apple now even is investing into it with the Playgrounds, of course not out of kindness, but also to get children hooked on Swift.
Then I would put Windows tablets on second, because most of them are hybrid computers, so there are some options there.
On Android parents are stuck with AIDE or apps that feel like people bundling text input fields with an eval button over the weekend. So nothing really appropriate here and 100% in sync with your remark.
