Why should the device have to workaround limitations of a single portable device family ?
Most instruments need power anyway, and having non-replacable batteries is not
a nice option in a device that will be around for more than 3 years.

How does that save money ? You need to buy a device running iOS/Android
to use it (at typically a comparable cost to the instrument itself), making
the whole thing more expensive, fragile and complicated to develop and support.
(Something like an iPad is a luxury device - it fits in between
a phone and a laptop/desktop computer. It may be nice to have, and work well in
certain niches, but it doesn't replace either of the other devices.)

That's a rather different user case (field measurement) to printing test charts and profiling
printers and displays.
