Many people complacently or willingly use wireless technology for fixed-location devices. While I can appreciate that running Ethernet cable can be a bit frustrating, seeing a desktop computer using wifi makes my head hurt.
Especially in the current work from home era, I've seen a resurgent enthusiasm for desktop computing. The simple rationale is: if you're going to be stuck at home and have a decent home work environment, why suffer the downsides of portable devices? Why not leverage the upsides that come from fixed-location workstations (large displays, faster higher-wattage CPUs and GPUs, wired full-size input devices, wired networking, and so on).
It's been amusing to see how many people have had their eyes re-opened to the advantages of high-end desktop computing thanks to environmental circumstances.
