Well yeah, casual desktop computing is pretty much dead, especially among Gen Z and younger.
The only people who still own PCs these days either do so for a specialized purpose (gaming, video editing, CAD, streaming, DJing, music production, etc.), or simply own one because they’re in their 30s or older and that’s what they’re used to.
The ratio of the general population vs. Those groups (with maybe the exception of gaming if we’re talking all gaming and not PC gaming) is still pretty high though, enough for the Apples and Googles of the world to pay only passing attention to the Laptop/Desktop market.
Videoconferencing while multitasking. Like online TTRPG and the like. You need the screen real estate. But once you can plug your phone on a dock with monitor, keyboard and mouse, that’s gone.
the year of the linux phone is gonna hit before the year of the linux desktop

Those aren’t small niche user groups, though.
