Root access’s now gone from your tablet, thus making your device incompatible with the root-requiring apps. These apps will no longer work on your device until and unless you re-root your tablet.

Now that you are back to the stock firmware from maybe a custom ROM or a highly customized stock firmware, you should be glad to see all the default apps back on the device. This is the purest version of the Android that your manufacturer has developed for you, and it contains no custom modifications.

You can now go ahead and re-customize your tablet, sell it as the buyer would not know the device was once rooted, and so on.
