The link shows a graph demonstrating that while data usage has gone up each year, smartphones are the majority users of data, while 'Data Capable Units' continue to lag behind.
While you're absolutely right that non-mobile devices (presumably non-smartphones) can (and in many cases do) generate a (much much) higher volume of data than a mobile device (presumably smartphone) alone, the data in the link supplied seems to indicate that as a whole, smartphones continue to be the majority users of data.
Or rather, while a few people may bring in wheelbarrows, few of them are actually filling them up, and the majority of people are just gorging themselves.
