Unlike Android itself, Google Play Market (and the rest of Google Apps) is a proprietary software, it is only available for tablets that passes the compatibility test suite. Additionally, even for devices that passes the test suite, it's up to the device manufacturer whether they want to include any parts of the Google Apps; some manufacturers have various reasons for not including the Play Store.
