Android tablets
Are there any _good_ Android tablets, with 128 GB or more storage, which are _not_ Amazon Fire or Google Pixel devices?

I recently tried looking for a new tablet since my shield tablet broke and was very discouraged by what I saw. I know it's a running joke that Google forgot about tablets or doesn't care, but it's now become almost impossible to find an android tablet.
Going to www.android.com/tablets only shows 4 tablets, all but one are actually discontinued. The shield tablet k1, which sold for only $200 is not going for $500 used on Amazon. Dell and HP are completely out of the market, Lenovo sells a few tablets, mostly on lollipop or marshmallow. Asus, once the biggest name it Android tablets is still selling a tablet with 4.2 Jelly bean.
Android started out as open source, but various parts and changes, and vendors not being allowed to publish drivers meant lockdown and early obsolescence. Recently schools forced google to add and state a support timeline. And now the USA is looking at break-up. The alternative - to open source things as they should be - has not been discussed. I hope the breakup continues, as I suspect back-peddling will not occur.
