Wouldn't the potential counterargument be that ARM desktops/laptops could potentially still come about? Probably more likely in the laptop space. I mean, I think about something like the latest raspberry pi, and yeah, it's slow as heck right now but it seems like something like that could gain a lot more ground if it was higher priced but gave you performance like an iPhone X or latest Galaxy. (And btw: from what I've read the iPhone X costs about $400 in parts, and $110 of that is in the OLED screen, and then there's other costs like sensors that you might not need. So let's say you get the cost of that down to $250 and make the price like $500. That seems like a competitive machine) We already saw Apple (successfully) transition from PowerPC to X86; it seems totally plausible that they could do the same thing with ARM at some point down the line, or someone could be a raspbery-pi style machine with a lot more horsepower.
