If it's on the ship, it's associated with the mission. Windows has a very high habit of barfing so over itself, as is evidenced by this article. It's bonkers to me that they chose to use Windows for anything at all.

I don't think the phone in my pocket is "associated with my job" when I'm working, just because it's in the same location. Do you?

The tablets are a convenience, not a requirement and so being commercial off the shelf means it's cheaper and it works well enough than what purpose-built hardware and software. If every tablet died, the mission would proceed without pause. Except the astronauts would be checking gauges instead of looking at a system monitor on their tablet and not sending as many e-mails.
