Mobile devices are great for passively consuming content and recording your surroundings. For the most part, that is not what people are using computers for when they're using computers for work. They need keyboards and full-size displays and the ability to install software that doesn't come from Google's or Apple's walled gardens.
Heck, mobile devices might make it worse by keeping you constantly connected, receiving work calls, e-mails, Slack notifications, all reminding you to stop doing physical activity and get back to your desk. They might also make it worse by the fact that you can passively consume content from them. It's not like you can just walk around or go for a run while watching episodes of your favorite show on your phone. You need to watch the road in front of you, which means you need to stop moving to watch something, which you can now do from anywhere instead of only when you're on your couch.
