So if this is all a marketing ploy by HP, it is working.

I don't think it is a marketing ploy when they are losing hundreds of dollars on each touchpad (components apparently cost 300 bucks a pop). Plus they are losing out on a 1.4 billion dollar deal that they are ultimately dropping support of. This is not including the millions in marketing on a dead product.
