not to seem like i'm complaining, but this is the same platform that is used in those 120$ chinese tablets...so why does this cost 100€ more, since linux is free, im sure its made in china and im sure that there is no hardware quality difference when compared to those cheap chinese androids...

The question is, do those $120 tablets have every driver in the mainline kernel or do they need binary blobs?
Of course the same question applies to this 200€ tablet, since even the raspberry pi depends on binary blobs.
That wouldn't be a problem if there were binary blobs available for every new kernel revision, but that's generally not the case and a perfectly functional device cannot be kept up to date.
