There's no way mobile computing will improve; there's too much money to be made taking advantage of the people that don't understand their devices.

  In what way has mobile computing remained static over the past decade? The only thing that hasn't changed, is Apple strictly controls what apps are available on iOS. The capabilities of those apps has been changing at a steady clip since "apps" first became a thing

    Mobile computing has regressed but there have been almost no technological improvements (outside of incremental hardware improvements.) Lots of social integration (like payments) but really there hasn't been any real technical innovation for about a decade.

      What kind of innovations in desktop computing would you classify as technological improvements? To me, since we created integrated circuits, we've generally been talking about incremental hardware improvements. If anything, mobile computing has actually innovated more than desktop (see ARM coming to laptops via M1 with amazing performance; integrated graphics / system-on-a-chip becoming more common in desktops).
