You've misunderstood my post. I'm not arguing everyone is a working from home or a college student writing term papers. I provided those satirical examples to show that phones are largely an entirely new market, they're by and large not replacing PCs.
Every PC market expert I've ever heard on the subject has a very simple explanation for declining PC sales: the market was growing for decades, and then simply saturated, and now it's pretty much just a replacement market.
The entire fact there was a huge spike in PC sales during the pandemic pretty much disproves your argument. People still need and want PCs and laptops, they simply pretty much all already have them. My bet is that nearly everyone on this site who used a PC 2 decades ago is still using a PC for things like work and writing, it's just now they're also using a phone.
