In a professional context, desktop software is a pain, and so it's largely dying off now that browser based tools can do so much of it.
It's fiddly and annoying (and usually expensive) to license for a team (compared to SaaS subscriptions). It tends to be less "online" - more likely for work to exist only on staff laptops and more difficult to share and collaborate on work (compared to software where all of the "work" exists online and live collaboration is expected).
My work situation is just VSCode (which I'll probably use in the browser half the time going froward via codespaces), Chrome and whatever Terminal app comes with the OS. And 10 tabs open for email, chat, calendar, docs, video calls, project boards, version control, devops stuff etc. I assume that's pretty typical.
