Every engineer I know has a laptop or desktop for “proper computing” and most rely on their phone primarily for status updates and information.
Whereas in the wider population the appeal of a full computer is more limited: people are more likely to throw cash at a bigger screen for better media consumption and gaming, and maybe have a cheap laptop for times where you really need a keyboard and desktop software.

My daughter uses her phone for her entire video production pipeline. She records and edits videos, does compositing and animation, mixes audio, does photo editing etc. all on her iPhone. I've tried several times to show her the advantages of using a 'real' computer with 'real' software, but she just finds it slow and annoying.
