Why would you think that for a long time when the trend has clearly been towards where we are today? PC's kept getting more powerful and sophisticated architectures. Workstations never had a future. I remember even back in the 2000's personal workstations were considered legacy. PC's had networking capabilities that were more than enough for what many organizations were doing and they didn't want to support or purchase workstations.
