The real problem with "the death of the PC" is that Apple ruined their own promise of the iPad. It has turned into a great tool for graphic designers (Pencil, Affinity, Photoshop, etc) but merely okay bordering on useless for everything else. Their sluggishness to bring a mouse, how long it took to get a file browser and support for USB storage, and especially for this forum, lack of support for programming apps. Play.js and Pythonista isn't good enough... it needs to be first class. You need to be able to make an iPad app on an iPad. And with iOS13 it's even gotten worse: the extra judicious killing of background apps they've introduced means it's gotten a lot harder to multitask. Apps like Termius need to track your location in order to keep your SSH connection alive, which is ridiculous. And the crippled browser doesn't seem to be getting better... I use AWS Cloud 9 IDE for almost all of my work. It's a browser-based IDE and should work on an iPad. But Safari won't let it. iOS12 and prior didn't have support for keyboard shortcuts the IDE needs, and iOS13's third party cookies policy won't allow it to work either. If you're a graphic designer, the iPad is a dream come true. If you do anything else (especially coding), well... we haven't moved much beyond this article [1] from eight years ago.

Beyond that, as the article mentions the promise of the "post-PC era" is actually alive and well in the PC world. The iPad didn't learn from the PC market like it should have, so the PC market learned from the iPad instead. 2-in-1 devices are what the iPad should be by now, but isn't. And since it's being done by someone other than Apple, the user experience is secondary to checklists of features and bean-counting cost savings. Apple ruined their own vision.
