I largely agree with you, but there are still a lot of common office functions (e.g. printing) that aren't well-served by browser-based computing. Added to which, many businesses still use custom or industry-specific desktop software that hasn't migrated to the browser yet. Personally, I'm with you -- I don't care about OS and do most of my work through browser/terminal. But there is still some critical scientific software that keeps me on Windows/OSX and I wouldn't dream of doing graphic design in a browser. I also agree that "Desktops are less relevant today than ever before" but they're far from irrelevant... Maybe in a decade or two.
