There are too many factors at work to make that kind of broad statement. Correlation not causation etc. etc.
I think it's that kind of short sighted jumping to conclusions that brought us train wrecks like Windows 8 and Gnome 3. Someone looked around, noticed touch interfaces on iOS and Android devices were selling like hotcakes while traditional PC sales were slumping, and decided clearly the only logical conclusion is to put a touch based interface on a non-touch desktop computer.
You can have my mouse when you pry it out of my cold dead fingers, stay the hell away from my desktop experience.

Unity and Gnome 3 don't actually remove the complexity of a multilayered X environment, they just selectively attempt to hide some of it from the user. I don't think that's a good solution either technically or from a UX perspective. I'm writing this from MATE by the way.
