By all accounts the kickstand retracts completely, so is no hindrance to sprawling on the couch. It's simply an added feature for when you might want to use it hands free, which is a option many tablet cover makers build into covers for existing tablets. Isn't more options better if they don't detract from the primary usage?
Another interesting wrinkle that may address the app imbalance: it looks like any Windows 8 machines running on an AMD chip
will be able to use all Android apps.
