A couple more things to add. Isn't the hallmark of an Android device the ability to fully customize the appearance and operation of your phone/tablet? If you had a phone set up exactly how you liked, and then bought a tablet, wouldn't you want your tablet (and all the Apps on it) to simply configure itself the same as your phone? Copying from one phone and duplicating it to another phone is easy, but it's not easy duplicating from one device to a different device. iCloud will do this.
And what about people who spend the time to fully customize an application around their workflow? If I had Photoshop running exactly how I like it at work, it would be great to come home and find my Photoshop set up the exact same way. So many applications are customizable allowing you to change toolbars, windows and numerous features. And many programs allow you to export your "settings" so you can duplicate them on another machine. This ability to export settings exists simply because of the hassle involved in changing applications settings to set up a piece of software the way you like.
iCloud does all this for you.
